Mart	Ooooh! I feel the guilt of the EBay sellers already!
JK2006	Over 4500 people have read this thread. I would say that's the entire global music industry!
Mart	Now I can answer that one as I plug to some stations. Yes they do press them up, but a plugger, if successful will walk back away with the things after they have been burned into the system. Probably hence why half the things end up on E Bay.
JK2006	And another question - do majors still press up CDs for promotional purposes? Surely radio these days is geared up for mp3's?
Mart	Does anyone have an idea how many freebies are given away by the majors on an average project? I have a sneaky feeling that I may have sold more copies of one of my DIY albums than they give away to people that don`t actually listen to the freebies (assuming that they don`t end up on E bay etc). Fact; People are starting to prefer to go to the "green grocer" as opposed to the "supermarket" again. This does not mean that I want to be a "supermarket", (when I "grow up") I rather like shutting some days.
