Fans yearn for a music safety recall

Entry Date: Tuesday December 19 2006

The look on the SonyBMG digital music mascat says it all; “What the hell are you doing?”

 

AUCKLAND – Rumour sites are abuzz with regard to an “IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL” seen on Svelte’s website. Rumours claim the New Zealand band is gearing up for a product recall, despite never having released any products.

We spoke to Patricia Wright of the SSC (Svelte Street Cats) who is desperate to comply with the safety recall, but has no CD to return. “Svelte fans are so inclusive, we’d love to participate in a safety recall” said Patricia longingly. “Celine’s fan base had plenty of drama a couple of years ago... oh I dream of something like that for us”.

In 2005, Celine Dion fans had cause for celebration. SonyBMG’s CD copy-restriction software masked itself using techniques employed by hackers and allowed several pieces of malicious software to “piggyback” onto fans PC’s. This left the computers vulnerable to outside terror attacks. “We hope to provide a digital music fiasco on a similar scale” said Svelte’s IT Manager, Bernard Manning. “In fact, I’ll stake my reputation on the fact we can match or better the big boys”.

But fans will have to wait until the release of Svelte’s debut 6-track EP. At that time, they’ll know for sure if they’re caught up in a scandalous, digital-rights fiasco of their very own. Source=Etlevs
