CD's you burn off to the parents for
$15 each, or whatever.
And none of these parents or their kids have computers at home and would
ever hose you by copying the original CD?
I think the idea is a good one. Just give them an hourly rate if a bunch of
them want to get together and bring all their kids in on a
Saturday.........'cause that's what they'll want to do to try to keep the
costs down.
I know a few music teachers here. I would try this except for the

imely or in-advance payment
for it.
Other side of the coin is as you say... could be a horrific
nightmare if that were your core business.
NeilI think all this just gives further proof to the fact (what
we've known all along) that the public gets force-fed their
music... this is nothing new, and the majors will find some way
around this, just like they found their way around the direct
payola, and indie-promoter schemes.
As for Rove, et. al., if Jason's right, and no one comes up on
charges, I'm abdicating my citizenship and moving to
Australia... Kim, you got an extra room I can rent? lol
