I buy little of historical recordings, so my view is necessarily a distant
one. These "certain" labels are either breaking the law or not; they are
vulnerable to a law suit or not. The legal system is the appropriate
avenue to address this problem, not the hope that stores and consumers
will feel a moral duty not to purchase from those labels. I think it's
"over the edge" to expect store customers to give any thought to copyright
violations engaged in by record companies when browsing through the store
inventory for purchases.
