The end.
Hey everybody:
I received a very polite phone call today from a former band member/label owner whose projects have appeared on Little Hits. I think he was appreciative of what I was trying to do, but he was concerned that other parties were picking up his compositions and distributing them as ringtones.
I realize now, belatedly, that once I put an MP3 on our server, anyone else might use it in any way they wish. I am quite concerned that the next person who finds one of their old tunes being used as a ringtone will not be so cool.
It is probably a good time to stop doing this. I’ve probably been lucky to get away with it as long as I have, and while I always assumed that my motives for doing this blog were fairly pure, I find myself second-guessing now.
To everyone who wrote an entry, or passed along their best wishes, or otherwise dropped a note to say “hi,” I’m very grateful. I’m sorry I wasn’t more responsive.
Best wishes to all,
Jon
