Good news for the first real post on the new server. It seems that more and more artists are beginning to take a stance against the practice of major music industry players like Sony BMG. Well known bands like Foo Fighters and The Dave Matthew´s Band already spoke out against selling copy protected music CDs to consumers.
The band My Morning Jackets got a step farther. They are doing their own recall of their copy protected album Z, burn unrestricted copies and send them back to their fans. All of this in clear violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
I wonder if we will see a reaction from Sony or if they prefer to keep quite about it. Time will tell.
