speaking of nothing, Mikael, have you been to the vinyl store in Borlänge? I noticed it during the Peace & Love festival. it's kind of awesome, even found some rare Pekka Pohjonen stuff there.
the only solution as I see it is to make somekind of disc that can't be played on computer, like a cd with a fuckin virus or something in it and then when you make files of the tracks, an evil Erik-monster (axe's alter ego) will appear and fuckin rip the computer to pieces.. or something! (I'm not very handy with computers).
could also release the CDs on your own. I know I'd pay hundreds of bucks for some unreleased stuff, as long as it doesn't get released for the world-public (I've done this with some bands, and I love my rare tracks/conserts which I won't share with anyone).
I hope I won't regret this post tomorrow when I'm sober.
Well all CDs have copyright protection, but workarounds are found so fast that its not even an issue. And when labels send out press copies they watermark them so leaks are prevented, but somehow it almost always happens. For example, the latest Thrice record leaked 3 months in advance with a watermark because some hacker got in to the labels online player for the press to listen to the album.
And the same goes for digital with DRM, but its thankfully getting phased out.
