In a post in the Side-Line forum, Dependent label boss Stefan Herwig invites file sharing people to have a chat with him face to face during the upcoming the Seabound/Iris US tour where Herwig is present as tour manager and light engineer. In the post Herwig also explains the reason for this invitation: "I am noticing a decent increase of piss-take threads on how dead the CD is, how evil record companies are, how cool the file sharing community is, etc. Real arguments here are rare, but a couple of attention whores seem to find it remarkably funny to show up with nicknames like 'i stole ur muzak', etc. Its all fun and games on a forum, but does anyone of you cool file sharing people really have some 'real life' arguments to backup your evil deeds and justify file sharing?"Herwig encourages the 'file sharing is cool' fans to hook up with him to sit down in a hotel lobby, restaurant or hotel room and discuss the 'fors and againsts' of file sharing with him in persona. Face to face and without a net or safety belt as he calls it. Herwig will record the discussions. Afterwards the unedited discussions can than be enjoyed by everyone at the end of the tour as a podcast or downloadable Mp3 on the Dependent website or via Side-Line.
Stefan: "Does anyone really have the guts to step up in real life and argue with someone face to face about this touchy subject? Quite honest: I doubt it... but would be pleasantly surprised if someone would step up to that challenge." If you are up for a discussion, send a mail to
