It's super-contrary to the spirit of this blog in particular. This is a quarter step away from renouncing barter of any kind. It's also kind of against the idea in the abstract too. "Off-grid," self sufficiency and DIY are pretty closely related. None of that matters though, and you're right. Punk rock was DIY too. That doesn't mean music companies didn't eventually produce it like any other pop music.
