Dang. That's disappointing- eventual wear and tear is to be expected, but intentional damage is surprising. I thought we were (mostly) adults here at AC. Scott
In a tour this small, I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect very little actual wear and tear. We all have music collections we probably treat with great care - there's no reason we shouldn't treat someone else's resources as carefully and perhaps even more so than our own. I personally have no idea how, when or where damage to the CDs happened, but I have them in my possession right now and can say I was a bit surprised at the condition they were in (on the data side, not label side). I've dropped a CD or two in my day and have some I've played hundreds of times and they still look pristine, especially in comparison to the tour CDs.Mike
Some folks just have no respect for 'free'. They do not care about it, as it is not thier property.Like it is a mental health issue more than malicious..And I think the idea that everyone will 'respect and care for circulating CDs is not realistic.Like i mentioned in my prior post.. a limited lifespan is the real experience.And you may have even had a person who traded their crap discs for the real ones!!!(For that I would engrave them in the center area.. So they are not swapped..)
May be true, but I think the fact that enthusiasts in the same hobby wouldn't take care of each other's stuff is a sad statement about modern life. I'd be mortified if I caused the issue.Mike
