Title: For Alan, Mark, Or Whoever.....Digital Downloads
Post by: petsite on February 26, 2006, 03:29:36 PM
With the non-stop revenue stream that could be had, why are the BB & Cap so SSSSLLLLOOOWWWW in putting outtakes, alternate mixes the numerous concerts onto a digital download site? This seems to be a no brainer. The faithful fans of the group are slowly greying and will soon be interested in reading AARP magazine rather than downloading tunes.

I know people have writen of this before. I was just wondering why the indifference from the group. hell, it would make Mike more cash than the lawsuits (no lawyer fees!!).

I guess it would be nice for the people that are into that kind of thing, but I personally refuse to pay money to download mp3s or any other lossy format. The better question, in my opinion, is why aren't any of these download sites offering FLAC downloads!!!

Do you have any idea of the politics involved in getting archival releases out?
