================================================ Subject: Re: NCR - A great way for bands to give fans incentives to buy instead of download music From: "Keith Mears" To: Date: Sun 17 Jun 2001 22:24:59 -0500 ================================================ You're welcome for the info, Jim, and I'd like to add that Metallica is one of the VERY few bands that DOES have the power to control how much they make, and more importantly, owns the rights to MOST of their music (the Beatles are another band that comes to mind here), but this is DEFINITELY the exception, not the rule. The VAST majority of "intellectual rights" are actually owned by the labels (which in and of itself seems pretty screwy to me; they don't write the lyrics or the music, so why should they own the rights?).
