          SPECIAL CCWS BOXING DAY SALE!! -- #116 Update Dec. 26th 1992
          ==============================
 
 
     Well I've received a nice modest xmas rush in sales, which has kept me 
 all warm & happy inside over the holidays.  BUT I still feel as if I'm 
 not doing my FULL PART in supporting humanity to my best ability. 
 what makes me feel this way is a few comments I have received by CCWS 
 observers, who suggested that my updates & press releases etc, reeked of
 commerciality & used-car salsesmanish pitches, despite my obvious lack of
 affiliation with monetary values in general.  OK OK I won't lie, when I 
 watch tv, I enjoy the commercials most.  I am intrigued by marketing 
 strategy & ad campaigns, but only as a curious study of trends & catch
 phrases.  I am not particularly concerned about SELLING my product, more
 my ability to sell that product, and I've chosen to make a very unsellable
 product (noise) as a particularly TUFF challenge (plus noise is where its 
 AT!).
 
     It seems to me the mistrust of the people to commercial activity is 
 a result of large corporations taking advantage of the buying public. 
 They enforce their 'copyrights' in order to keep a stronghold on the 
 market, forcing people to either buy their products or go without. 
 This concept does not jive with my morals!  If marijuana were legalized,
 and I sold a bag of weed to someone, which contained a few seeds, and that
 person planted those seeds & grew more marijauna, should I be allowed to
 sue for his entire crop, seeing as he 'duplicated' my plant much like 
 recorded media can be duplicated, or manufacturing blueprints.  
 
     OK, so what does this have to do with CCWS and the Boxing Day Offer?? 
 Well, this is an offer like no other, as of today the CCWS tape is 
 officially placed in the domain of something I call 'Am-ware'.  This is 
 like shareware or freeware, but uses an Amway type of scheme to make it 
 fun!  OK it goes like this.. obviously, like every other peice of medium,
 CCWS belongs to no one.  Anyone with fingers can operate equipment to 
 duplicate it.  When you're sending me $5 for a tape, your paying for the
 j-card, labels, and cassette, not the music.  You have every right to do 
 whatever you want with the music, including selling it for your own 
 personal gain.  BUT here at #116 Productions we pride ourselves on 
 customer service, and thats why we're making appropriation EASY & 
 PAINLESS!  Yes, thats right, for every copy of CCWS you order ($5 plus
 $3 for shipping), you will receive 2 extra sets of labels & j-cards! 
 This means that you can duplicate the tape (you provide the extra 
 cassettes), stick the labels on, & instantly you have THREE copies of
 CCWS for the price of one!  You can now SELL those other two copies 
 for whatever amount you like, or give them away, or throw them away. 
 Of course you're also allowed, and encouraged to take any peice of 
 CCWS for use in your own endevours, or you could even repackage the entire 
 tape as is with your own labels & J-cards & try & make a buck & a name
 for yourself at the same time!  (Though I cant see why anyone would do 
 this, it might be more rewarding to make your own creations). 
 Never before (that I am aware of), has a company provided a complete 
 kit for making knock-offs of its products, so order yours soon!  This 
 product will be discontinued from production when the second tape is ready
 for sale (late spring), so order yours while supplies exist (from me, that
 is). 
 
 TO ORDER:
 
 Send $8 (includes postage) for C60 cr02 tape (58 mins total) to:
