I also wondered about copyright-cowbots, and I suspect you're right about that too. I didn't have time to set out one tenth of my gripes about the current situation for us lovers of recorded classical music, and I'm slowly simmering a sort of manifesto. But it'll be a while...

...Many thanks for this post – good to see you back.<br />One little hiccup: the link seems to point to the Neumeyer/Mozart K.311 rather than the Byrd. (I'm actually glad it did, because I missed that one before.)<br />I wonder about the takedowns you mentioned: could it have been machines rather than people doing the snitching? I suspect so, given the casual approach to accuracy in the 'permission denied' messages; and if so, that would make it even worse. One can't establish a context for honourable behaviour when dealing with something that isn't programmed to recognise that such a thing exists.<br />Anyway, thanks again.<br />Chris.C.F.
