I realize that they were not recorded by BIS in the first place,
but it would be nice to have CD editions of your Göteborg
Symphoniker and Swedish Radio Symphony boxes, to replace the
original 5-LP sets, and to make a nice common edition with the
Stockholm Philharmonic 8-CD box. As a longtime and loyal BIS
customer, I have all three, of course.
When you buy CDs secondhand do you consider those purchases as being
loyal to the label?

The BIS CDs I want almost never show up used, for some reason, so I
wind up buying them retail. Maybe I wait for a sale, but the
discount is covered by the retailer, not the label.


And besides, with a used CD, *somebody* bought the disc in the first
place and enriched the label by doing so. There's no guarantee that
I would have bought something new if I hadn't found it used. Then
again, there have been a few times when I've picked up one CD in a
series used, and liked it so much that I then bought all the others
new.

Those same arguments could apply to music people steal off the
internet, no?

Just playing devil's advocate. I do think "file sharing" triggers
more purchases than one would think.


How many people "steal" the music they borrow from a library?
