The Vast Majority of our Customers Obey the Copyright Law and We Thank Each One of You for Your Support.
But we also must address the few bad apples who are trying to spoil digital downloads for everyone else.
Would
you take pens and pencils, paper, or any other stockroom supplies
belonging to your employer? That is the same as shoplifting, also known
as "theft by unlawful taking."
It
is a more serious crime if you use federal wires (internet / web /
email / youtube, etc) to unlawfully copy and distribute our music,
thereby defrauding us of revenue we have a right to receive. The
prosecutors call it racketeering and mail fraud (the same crimes that
allegedly corrupt Illinois Governor Blagojevich allegedly did). Do you
want a reputation as a rat?
Our
authorized distributors may, at their discretion, embed "digital rights
management" tools in your download which may report back to us should
the purchaser re-distribute our music or make unlawful copies of it.
We will agressively prosecute in criminal and civil court all alleged infringements of our copyrights in order to keep prices low for law-abiding music lovers who are not stealing from us.
Did you know that the copyright law prohibits unlawful copying and distributing of material protected by copyright?
You may not copy nor distribute our products by any means whatsoever including but not limited to:
- emailing someone a copy of a song or PDF file or other article you bought online.
- podcast.
- webcast.
- digital video (sites like youtube, etc.)
- broadcast.
- excessive digital backups.
- making pirated copies of our articles, ebooks, photos, and music on a CD and selling or giving it away.
- any other means of copying and distributing our products, music / audio files.
BEWARE:
Some digital song downloads contain embedded code called "digital
rights management" that automatically notes and reports thefts /
unlawful copying to the authorized distributor for full blown criminal
prosecution.
