but slowly im thinking about moving into digital option too,
yeah i know we can't win with the piracy - its sad but very true,
as far i know most of the digital releases are "ripped and releases (again)" inside the piracy scene too, faster than vinyl version im affraid,
i seen the statistics (in polish newspaper) that 9 of 10 mp3's way of downloads are total illegaly,
only one of ten getting a chance to earn some bullshit money by label on it, scary isn't ?

anyway i would like to stay with releases on wax,
it is very important part of the techno subculture and i cant imagine future with the music only in digital version, it sounds like worst nightmare for me.
A label is now a medium of promotion.
Neither vinyl nor mp3 make much money, but the promotion will secure gigs and other avenues of revenue.
You can always sell merchandise at gigs.

The main point is to not try to fight or remain still against something that can not be beat. The best plan is to go around the problem, capitalise on it and work out what advantages can be taken from the situation. Adapt and survive.
