A LETTER
FROM
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER JACK MONTEREY
ABOUT DIGITAL MUSIC PIRACY
Hello. Thanks
very much for buying a fabulous
Richard Cheese CD. We truly hope
you enjoy the album, and we also
hope you will tell all your
friends about Richard Cheese
& Lounge Against The Machine.
However, we would like to
respectfully ask our fans to
resist the temptation to make
copies of Richard's songs and
give them out via MP3, CDR, email,
Kazaa, or any other kind of
"Napsteresque" file
sharing. Unauthorized internet
distribution like this is a big
problem that really hurts Richard
Cheese and your other favorite
artists.
Richard, his band, and many other people spent
lots of time, energy, and money making this CD. We're not a big media corporation with
lots of money; Richard takes
money out of his own pocket to
pay for these CDs.
So, when you upload MP3s or give
away
burned CDRs, that means fewer
people will go out and buy the CD. And that means Richard won't be
able to recoup his investment,
and that means he can't afford to
record any more albums. This is
the real and serious consequence
of music piracy and illegal
downloading.
Yes, the internet helps spread
the Cheese, and we do appreciate
the great exposure. But recording,
manufacturing, and distribution
cost money, and we have to sell
as many CDs as possible just to
break even. We aren't in this
business just to make money--we
don't want a huge profit; just
enough to continue making more
albums for you to enjoy.
We do this because we love the
idea, we love the music, but most
of all, we love the fans who
support us. So, please keep
supporting us by respecting our
hard work, and by making sure you
aren't participating in or
enabling the crime of stealing
music. Or else I'll come after
you with a fucking bayonet.
Both I and Richard truly
appreciate your understanding,
cooperation, and help. Thank you
for believing in the cheese.
Best,
Jack Monterey, Executive Producer
Richard Cheese & Lounge
Against The Machine
