  1. [...] This indie band got it right, as posted on Boing Boing. I just loved that. Finally a band did not make me instantly hate them for their attitude on internet piracy. And you know, I would actually listen were I the owner of that Promo CD. Take that, Sony. [...]

    Unless Matmos manage to get some radio play, there’s a good chance that they’re harming themselves, or would be if it weren’t for the publicity of this note itself.

  8. [...] aber irgendwie nett, die Idee, mal darum zu bitten, daß eine CD nicht weiterverbreitet wird, anstatt sie durch unsinnige und ärgerliche Maßnahmen (wie zum Beispiel Rootkits) zu “schützen”. [...]

  9. [...] Indie label uses heartfelt note instead of DRM. While I think the ‘war against piracy’ is a worthless endever, these guys have found a way to make downloading albums less attractive: by being nice about it. [...]

  10. [...] Anti-Piracy measures, Matmos-style. It’s very high tech, must see. I have to post their new track. [...]
