Béla Fleck is a badass.
Reason #3000 to love Béla Fleck:
[...] many artists have spoken out about all forms of copy-protected CDs, including Matthews, the Foo Fighters and Christian rock band Switchfoot. Bela Fleck and the Flecktones are set to release a new album on Sony in January, and it will not be copy protected, says Fleck’s manager, David Bendett.
Frustrated when he bought a copy-protected Dave Matthews release and couldn’t copy it to his Apple iPod, Fleck insisted that Sony not release his new album with such restrictions, Bendett says.
Good on you, Béla. (via)
