It's likely this will just end up on filesharing/torrent sites depending on who buys it, how secure their recording process is, how trustworthy the recording studio personnel are etc.
They're really just selling the box.
- migrantgeek 13y agoI think that's the point. If you only expect to make 500K* from album sales, it makes sense to sell a single copy for 500K to a wealthy fan and let the content leak out to other fans. Same pay, less work and more happy fans. * - I don't really know what the numbers are. 500K is just an example.
- toomuchtodo 13y agoOr crowdsource it and not release it until you hit 500K.
- dllthomas 13y agoRight, this is mostly a threshold-pledge model, with the caveat that one wealthy individual could buy it up and destroy it. What's interesting is that this model works in a world without copyright - you can always sell the first copy.
- evan_ 13y agoIt's already recorded and I expect that RZA is doing the production himself or with trusted associates. With only one master it's not like there will be much opportunity for a factory worker to grab an early copy, either.
