well if your stuff does go missing (and you have backed up) it's a
great excuse to give out if you haven't been cracking on with the
material that the label gave you the huge advance to do :) ( <cough> BT
<cough>).
i agree with you on the backup advice btw..

Off-topic, but another good lesson for all the musicians out there:
BACK UP YOUR STUFF!
Not the first time I've heard of someone's stuff getting stolen and
with it went the only copy of their new record/song/etc. It baffles me
that musicians take their precious creations and treat them with so
little care. Beyond theft, there's hard drive crashes, fires, or any
other of a myriad of disasters which could befall your data.
The little bit of time it takes to do something as simple as burning a
few CD-R's and putting them somewhere off-site is a lot better than
losing four years of work.
Heh, which reminds me... I need to make some backups. I've got two
copies of nearly everything at home, but I'm a bit lax on the off-site
backups.
