Interview With a BitTorrent Embracing Record Label
,----[ Quote ]
| The label is comprised of several bands that tour internationally and draw
| comparisons to bands like Cursive, Explosions in the Sky and At the Drive-In.
| The guys at the label pride themselves on Beep! Beep!âs united brand and
| quality of music, as well as the elaborate album artwork that is part of the
| physical releases â two characteristics that they believe separate Beep!
| Beep! from the net labels.

How Not To Do Things: Redskins Suing Over 100 Fans
,----[ Quote ]
| We've been talking about ways that individuals and organizations can better
| connect with fans... while also highlighting examples of what not to do, so
| it should come as little surprise that many of you sent over the news that
| the Washington Redskins have sued well over 100 season ticket holders, after
| those fans faced financial hardship and were unable to pay up for new season
| tickets, despite having signed long-term contracts at some point. The article
| is long and detailed, and reading through the examples, the Redskins
| management appears about as heartless as can be. The Redskins chief lawyer
| tries to come up with excuses on each case, and it just makes the team look
| petty. Even worse, is that he claims that every team does this, but the
| Washington Post found most of the teams they contacted do not, and the few
| that do, only do so in the rarest of circumstances.
