Promo copies of Autechre's forthcoming album, Draft 7.30 (due April 7) are on cassette tape, presumably to hinder those who might be tempted to make the recording available through the internet. A nice lo-tech solution to the problem. It's not going to stop the filesharing getting their mits on the goods, but it might slow the process down. I know that if Draft 7.30 had landed on my doormat in CD format, it would have been uploaded to a certain discreet filesharing site I frequent by now. As it is, I can't really be arsed getting my tape deck down from the top of the wardrobe to listen to it, let alone rip it to Mp3. The insert also features an amusing reminder to hold off on that eBay auction: Any resale of this item is prohibited by law. However, should you wish to resell the item illegally, we'd like to advise you that the market value of the item will increase significantly after the album's release date. |

|
|

| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

|
|
haha, at least it's not glued inside a walkman like the last Tori Amos and Pearl Jam promos. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
it's pretty smart. when the cd is released the p2p networks will be poisoned with lofi versions of the same thing.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

most people probably wouldnt even be able to tell the difference between a tape or cd rip anyway, as most of the mp3s on soulseek seem to be 128s |

to avoid people putting songs on the net, promos of the CD where given out, inside of CD players that were glued shut, so it couldnt be put into a computor. real smart... people just broke the CD players. |

Zeus- so did the cds have music on them, or was it more of a display item ? ~thats funny that they found the promo cd worth more than the cd player, as seeing the cd players were SMASHED !! |

recycle, here's some quotes from the article: Writers receiving review copies of two soon-to-be-released albums — Tori Amos's "Scarlet's Walk" and Pearl Jam's "Riot Act" — are finding the CD's already inside Sony Walkman players that have been glued shut. Headphones are also glued into the players, to prevent connecting the Walkman to a recording device. ... A Sony spokeswoman confirmed that the glued players were being used to combat piracy, but would not talk about their effectiveness or responses from writers. This is not the first time prerelease music has received the glue treatment. Gil Kaufman, a freelance journalist in Cincinnati, said he owns a prerelease copy of Radiohead's 1997 album "OK Computer" that is glued into an Aiwa player — an Aiwa analog cassette deck. That makes MP3 conversions a bit more difficult. |

why do they handout demos when they dont want people to hear them? somehow i'm missing a crucial point methinks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think in the case of these glued discmen, you had to return it intact after your evaluation, or there would be no more promos for your bad self. |

inverted whale---------thanks cheffe1979-------methinks its more of a promotional desktop item (paper weight to say) then to actually listen to the tunes THEY KNOW that millions of peeps are going to buy the Tori Amos, the Pearl Jam, The Radiohead, and now maybe not it millions, but fans will buy Autechre * wishes i had a cd player promo of the new autechre |
