I understand. We honestly *don't* expect people to "take sides" anyway.
We were asked why we felt the way we did, and we answered. Just because
we have a personal problem with IG doesn't mean everybody will. Plus, our
*main* problem involved a very good friend of ours, John Reimers, so 
there's a loyalty there that no one else can be expected to feel. btw,
THANKS to IED for his post!

Well, Jeff already answered this (thanks Jeff) so all I'll say is that
if my giving away *compilation* tapes of female artists is illegal, then
I am guilty. However, the only ones who should throw stones at me are those
who have never, ever made tapes of music they like for friends to listen
to, and those who have never, ever accepted such a tape to listen to.

That's not directed to Fiona or Jackie, it's just a general "glass house"
reminder.

Well, I'll admit I have given away dubs of entire albums, but *rarely*,
and then usually either:

1) albums that are/were *extremely* hard to find, or 
2) to give to people who, through whatever circumstances, had no hope 
   of ever finding the album.

Much more often, I've made tapes full of the music of just one artist,
using songs from various albums. I've done that many times in the 
case of Kate, Happy & Jane. 

Still though, most of the tapes I send out are compilations....a lot of
different artists on one tape. Sometimes I include multiple songs by
each artist, such as this one:

Or I might just dub a copy of my radio show, such as this one:

> The Catherines         Angels on Your Pillow  The Catherines tape

Anyway, I certainly don't feel guilty about spreading music around. I'm
pleased with the knowledge that many people who have received my
compilation tapes have bought albums by some of the artists they heard.
Spreading music and supporting artists, *especially* female artists, is
my favorite hobby.
