Hi Karl,

Record companies should keep their products in print if they don't
want people to bootleg or make copies. There is NO excuse for ANY
recordings to be unavailable when a chimpanzee could slap them up on
iTunes or similar for legal downloading. "Victor" and its successors
are not some fly by night operation. In fact there should be a law
that when the record company allows the recording to go out of print,
rights revert to the artist.

Another factor is that after 50 years recordings enter the public
domain. This is the reason you can now buy the complete Robert
Johnson for 5 Euros at any record store in Europe. I would guess Jin
Nyodo's recordings will be there soon if they are not already.

Just my two cents on that subject.

Regards,

BR
