[Dixielandjazz] Posting to DJML on the Sony fiasco justification.

[David Richoux]

Mike,

What I was trying to say was that they had not gotten around to RE-re- 
issues (with the bad security codes) of earlier things like the Hot 5  
series and many other things of possible interest in the CBS/Columbia  
catalogue.  AFAIK there was only the 20 or so new products/reissues  
mentioned with the bad codes. If there had not been such a loud  
public reaction to their "mistake" I bet they would eventually have  
put that code on EVERYTHING!
