That's really strange. I guess selling CD-R copies isn't any different from mp3s really. However, I personally don't like the idea of CD-Rs or any sort of bootlegged copies being made/sold.

Do they count as bootlegs if they have permission from the label though?
from what I read about it, these seem like they were done under some sort of contract. The only metal labels I've seen that are a part of this so far are Crash Music and Moribund records. Getting a brand new copy of that infester album, complete with booklet is fairly tempting.

Perhaps official bootlegs? I'm really not sure. I own a Kommunity FK album that was released with a CD-R but it's the official and only version so I don't consider it to be one. I think it's different though if the album was previously available as a proper release.
I really wonder how the quality differs from the originals. It wouldn't be hard to fool people into thinking that the CD-R available features non-compressed audio and I wonder about print quality. I must admit sometimes even official reissues are poorer print quality (ie. Moonfog reissues).
I guess my issue is where do you draw the line? I mean if someone buys that CD-R copy but eventually sells it, is that really any different from just making your own copy and selling that to begin with? I'm sure it would be hard to keep track of which bands/labels have agreed to this CD-R thing. I really just don't like the idea of "official CD-Rs." People are already quite capable of making high quality replicas and high quality bootlegs. I think the label Metal Mind (if I'm not mistaken) has a reputation for releasing unlicensed copies of albums. I know I would hate it if I bought an album online and it turned out to be a CD-R/bootleg copy when all I wanted was the real thing. Allowing this would just really blur the lines. But this is really the first I've heard of this though so I'd really have to read more about it.

I used to be able to pull all-nighters all the time, but now it honestly makes me feel like killing myself. Even getting any less than 8 hours, feels like torture through the day unless I get a couple coffees into me.

Well that was fucking quick. I'm driving down the road after I just did some shit to my car when a stupid fucking teenage bitch in a piece of shit Mercury Cougar misses her turn and decides to slam on her brakes causing me to smash into the ass of her car.
My carbon fiber hood is fucked, driver side fender is fucked, front bumper is fucked, both new headlights I JUST FUCKING INSTALLED TWO NIGHTS AGO are fucked, and the passenger side airbag deployed.
I'm just a little pissed if you hadn't noticed. I've only had the car ALMOST two weeks and now this. wtf

On the plus side, looks like no damage to your engine from what I can see.

Yes, go on a spree if you will.
You are right though, there was no damage to the engine or any other components thank god. Right under the driver side headlight and behind the bumper is where my intake and washer fluid bottle is, both are ok as well. It's just cosmetic shit but still a major blow to my zen man.

That really sucks. I remember when some faggot reversed into the boot of my car when it was parked in a public carpark while I was at work. Came back to my car after work only to realize that the boot could not open, so I forced it open and the bloody thing wouldn't close again. Fucker didn't even leave a note on my windscreen.
It was a major pain in the ass because I actually had to borrow my sister's car for band rehearsals and gigs until I got it fixed (which cost me a stupid amount of money). Didn't really want to leave a 4x12 cab in a boot that doesn't close.

Ouch. That's gotta suck. Pretty damn hard shunt too by the looks of the damage. I hope you'd sorted your insurance, because if you hit someone from behind, you're at fault. How bad is her car?
