[kj] Killing Joke Spring 2001 demos ("Futureshock," etc.)

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Well, it sucks when people try to make money off others' stuff, even if 
it's out of print.

What gets me is artists or, better yet, spokespeople on their behalf, 
who get upset when someone offers old demos, unreleased material, live 
stuff that was never officially released -- for free. I had a link once 
on my blog to a Bit Torrent file (I wasn't hosting it, it was just a 
link) of all of Rudimentary Peni's UNRELEASED demos and an UNRELEASED 
live show. There is nowhere you can buy this material and there never 
has been.

I got a snakry comment from someone at Southern records that said 
something like "Way to give away someone's life's work!" or something. I 
emailed her back/asked her, "Where can I buy the band's unreleased stuff 
to support them?" She didn't answer. I don't see how you could. I told 
her if she could tell me, I would remove the link. but it was just a 
link. I wasn't hosting the fucking stuff.
