Jesse Raub recently talked to Seth Hubbard, Head of Publicity at Polyvinyl Records over email. The two talked about press campaigns, the limits of a small label and of course the drama surrounding illegal downloads. On that subject particularily Hubbard says:

I don’t think people getting music for free is a new concept by any means. Granted it is easier now then ever before but I can remember as a kid getting tapes from friends, or even taping things off the radio. Then once CD burning started to happen I would get new music that way too. People have always shared music with friends and it is how a lot of people find out about new bands.
