You’ve Got a “Ticket to Burn”
By Michael Santo
Contributing Writer, RealTechNews
How about releasing a CD without really releasing a CD? I mean, we all rip and burn them later anyway? A gimmicky (or just plain wacky) release, the band The Residents have released a CD that consists totally of 2 blank CDs … for you to burn onto.
It contains two blank CDs so that the five episodes, which will be released sequentially during a 10-week period, can be burned after the last one becomes available. A unique code for each package allows users to unlock the subscription at riverofcrime.com.
The package is exclusively available at Virgin Megastore locations in the brick-and-mortar world and at idealcopy.com in cyberspace. A prerecorded version of the project is planned for wider release next year. Source: Reuters
We Say: At least we know they won’t object to you burning their music on a CD. What can I say; it’s really a funny and clever gimmick.
David Johnston says:
The problem I see with this is that burned CD’s have a much shorter lifespan than pressed CD’s and are also more likely to get scratched. Other than that it seems like a neat concept though not really useful.

Maybe if you can burn one CD, you can burn many?

The only real problem with this is if the IRAA catches you downloading the songs. Sure you bought the cd’s and have the code to download the songs and all, but when did common sense ever stop the IRAA?
