Yeah - I'm not going to do that because I find that to be imoral
in principle. I spoke to the kid on the subway hope and he made
clear that its too difficult to get anything done with regard to
promotion and education with the ensemble and/or school. I would
never ever sign such a contract.
I don't have time to educate anyone right now on the damage such
use of copyright poses to public education, not to mention the
damage it does to promotion of individual artists and schools,
but I'm going to back off this project for other artists and
educational programs that permit collaberation and education.
I'm cc'ing Michael on this. We'll likely to just privately archive
the tape since I hate to destroy information.
Good luck April. Your very very talented.
Ruben

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attached at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt. I guess you missed that one."
