Respect

You can do all sorts of things with music. You can listen to it once, twice, or as many times as you like. You can do it by yourself or with friends. You can give your favorite music as a present. Perhaps you’ll be given music as a present yourself. Music you’ve never heard of and wouldn’t otherwise have come across. You can talk about music during the day in the record shop and at home or at clubs in the evenings. Music is culture. And culture is life.

“NO copy protection” is an indication that there is a reciprocal loyalty between the buyer and the label. The old song about mutual give and take has been given a new verse: Copy protection kills customer relationships. “NO copy protection” adds a new chorus. For only those to whom respect is given show respect themselves. Music is valuable. Those who love it, treat it accordingly: Trust is good. Nothing is better.
