[Rev Simon Rumble]

On Tue 18 Feb, Rich Walker bloviated thus:

> You might email ADF; they'll probably be interested in this...

Actually, poking around it seems they know about it:

Do you know this is absolute news to us!I'm outraged that you can't
play the cd on a pc!tHAT'S FUCKING dumb!!!!Unfortunately that
is,according to people I know in the company,something that's come
from the very topie. the faceless bean-counters who make all the
decisions.Our label's idea was excellent;an "open-disc " system which
contained a pc only track that could be constantly updated with new
material.However from those above them the order was for this
idiotic,counter-productive copy -control system.We,and Virgin
Labelles,of course had no control over this and i didn't even know
about it until I read your comments.OF COURSE it will hurt
sales!!!!wHO DOES THESE GUYS' market research?Don't they know the pc
is where the majority of people LISTEN to music these days??!!!They
don't realise that the situation requires an IMAGINATIVE response;from
now on,I can assure you guys that ADF are gonna rise to the challenge
on this one.
