Take a look at that picture. Can you see why that note might be patronising? Am I really that negative a person? Is it a warning? Why tell me how I should try to feel about a record? Why put a Security Seal on it? The CD is already ‘Unique and Traceable’, so what’s the need for the big, red sticker? So you’ve ‘done a lot with this guy’, I don’t care. I care about the content of the CD, and not your long-standing relationship. Have we not got a relationship? Not any more, I’m just another address for you to send your anti-piracy warnings out to.
If you’ve not grasped it by now, then this is simply the quickest route to getting a record binned. If you can’t be gracious enough to to concede that I might be able to divulge my thoughts coherently about your artist’s record, then don’t send it.
Don’t ever send me (and, might I suggest – anyone) anything like this ever again.
