SO SMART

EMI has told Danger Mouse that his latest CD won’t see the light of day due to “legal issues,” so he’s responding by releasing the disc as a blank CD-R in a jewel case with art and liner notes. Fans can just download the music off a P2P site and burn it to the CD-R.

Boom.

Reminds me of a CD that went missing at work. Jewel case, etc. still there. I was initially choked til I realized that I can just burn a copy from my iTunes, hell- even do a vinyl rip if I really wanted to. Same diff.

Once the major labels wise up to this….ahh nevermind. It’s too late.

Brilliant. I’d buy it just for the pleasure of being vicariously involved in a wonderful fuck-you to the copyright dinosaurs.
