It is true that a lot of the majors are employing this technology on
their CD's, and you can't blame them really. It is a relatively
inexpensive process to have your CD's made this way now, so I guess more
will follow in the not too distant future. However, we feel there is
only a point to be made for using the tecnology on the big market
sellers, so to be honest, that really leaves 'EM' and most of the titles
we offer here, well out of the running. In our opinion - once you have
bought a CD from us, you have paid your royalty to the artist / record
company concerned, so apart from using it as a master to manufacture and
sell loads of copies, you can do what you like with it.
