!K7 Records have announced the beginning of a campaign they call “NO Copy Protection”. They will begin labeling all of their releases with a logo stating that any disc so marked will not make any attempts to thwart the listener from exercising their fair use privileges.

For those who don’t know, !K7 is the label which releases Kruder & Dorfmeister, Tosca, Peace Orchestra, Ghost Cauldron, Five Deez, Ursula Rucker, and the DJ Kicks series.

The following is from the announcement:

“NO copy protection” is an indication that there is a reciprocal loyalty between the buyer and the label. The old song about mutual give and take has been given a new verse: Copy protection kills customer relationships. “NO copy protection” adds a new chorus. For only those to whom respect is given show respect themselves. Music is valuable. Those who love it, treat it accordingly: Trust is good. Nothing is better.
