Exactly.  A footnote:

Why is the UR S.I.D. series special?  I mean, MOST of the releases (not all 
IMHO) are excellent music, first and foremost.   But as a secondary factor: 
it's because you can only get them new from the Submerge store.  They are less 
widespread. 

Also you don't see people bootlegging the UR S.I.D. records because they know 
UR has eyes and ears everywhere (aka - Operatives)  ;)  and they defend their 
independence and control of distribution in a militant manner.  It's not 
perfect, but it's worked thus far.  

I don't see any problem UR seeking out who booted the KDJ stuff, because it 
could happen to UR too.  If the artists stick together and 'protect the hive', 
a swarm is always more lethal than a single bee. 

peace,
