What had been a random moment of scouring the Internet (Facebook in particular) during a boring period at work quickly escalated into a truly “Holy SHIT” moment, as before my very eyes I stumbled across a quick blurb from none other than BT at the very top of the Live Feed, featuring this very interesting piece of information.
Background info on following tweet from BT today:
– They’ve banned YouTube videos of mine they didn’t own!
– Not to mention emailed Warner Bros for 8 months about returning my masters to IMA & ESCM (both out of print for years.) Guess what they did? Warner Bros never responded & re-released both albums.
– Don’t pay Warner Bros for IMA or ESCM. I will release more complete new versions when I can.
What on earth was he talking about? Who did what and why? Thankfully, Mr. BT provided a link to help shed some light on this murky, yet increasingly intriguing post. So without further ado, feel free to click on the link below and judge for yourself.

***And extra props go to BT, as without him pointing out this travesty on a Facebook post, yet another MAJOR fuck-up by the industry at large would have skimmed by unnoticed, and the public might have missed the chance to witness a nail being hammered into the coffin of not just the music industry monoliths, but the entertainment industry. Cash rules everything around us.
