Defend the Indefensible: Nasptering the Jordanaires

Message Bookmarked

A bunch of us stayed at a cottage up in North Ontario this weekend, and predictably nosed our way through the owners' CD collection -- lotsa bargain basement "Hits of 1956"-type records.

However, the owber did have a Jordanaires solo CD -- a bunch of Elvis covers, sans Elvis. I noticed he'd napstered the whole thing, AND went to the trouble of photocopying the CD inlay.

Now, owning a Jordanaires CD is bad enough -- but burning it and photocopying the whole cover, too? That's just scary,

uhhhh...are you saying that liking the Jordanaies is bad or that owning a CD of music you like is bad?

Well, photocopying and burning something involves some sort of effort and passion. But for the blandest band in recording history? I can understand why people might queue nightly for Manilow concerts, but this?

I can totally see some old dude Napstering these things a decade ago thinking he'd stumbled onto the holy grail; lovingly photocopying the artwork and treating them with love is as nerdy as anything i would do upon finding something as important to myself. At its most ideal, that was the promise of file-sharing in the first place --- and not the vacuous state that the industry appears in of late.
