Question

Speaking of petitions, I had heard that apparently Jackie had removed a link to the Penguin's FM DVD petition someone had posted over on Mick's board to help spread the word saying that "it's not that we don't want people to sign it but due to that site's copyright (etc.) I've removed the link as we can't copy from other sites (etc.)".

I do understand the copyright reasons if it really was for those reasons but this is:

1. The pot calling the kettle black (after the Penguin discography/SaraRhiannon stuff) if nothing else and...

2. If the whole idea of a petition is to "get the word out" about it and Marty even had spaces at the bottom of the FM DVD petition page so you could e mail it to some people then surely no one is going to complain about the linking of the Penguin FM DVD petition page soley due to copyright reasons.

Could it be due to that "they" would make no money/not "gain" anything from this product (should the rest of the signatures be gathered) and that the DVD petition is probably viewed by Mick's site admins (including JT) as "going against what the band wants to be released"?

I guess it's just those double standards in motion again.
