Hi ! Well, obviously, that was me. I am setting up the "Tori Covers
Tape project" on rdt. If there's anyone wanting to record a
ToriCover here, (s)he's welcome! Just e-mail me...

It is and I can truly recommend this. Obviously, I am too busy
handling the ToriCovers business right now, but I _do_ hope someone
will be able to set something similar up for lovehounds/gaffa.
 
As for the legal side of things, I believe Drewcifer brought that
one up, I think those problems only come up when one is trying to
profit from someone else's work. This project is not profitable. I
have set things up so clumsily :-} that I even lose money in the
process... But then again, I think it's worth it.
 
If someone has more information about this legal side of things,
please contact _me_, as I am planning on sending a copy to Tori by
Xmas. I wouldn't want the following reaction:
 
"Hi, I'm Tori's manager/record company/music publisher/whatever,
and I want $_______ because you lot stole Tori's work"....
 
I'd rather get the following:
 
"Hi, I'm Tori and you did fine work... <kisskiss>." Oh well... A
man is entitled to his dreams ain't he?
 
Please please please, some KaTeFan, come forward and lead us into
temptation!
