If thats the case, then I think it would make sense for DCI to put a disclaimer on the MMDL website that specific downloads are only available until "(Fill in date)". I think they would probably sell a few more downloads if they did that...when people see that they are available for a limited time, they sometimes consider a purchase more strongly. DCI used to do that when they released the physical video and audio products anyway, so why not do it for the online media as well? I may be simplifying this too much, because I know some of the licensing agreements are varied and wordy...and DCI may not even know how long they can sell a download for.

KVG_DC Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I went for the iTunes versions. Went straight to Blue Knights. Was not disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbass598 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Has anyone asked and got a response on when they will be available on MNDL? I’d prefer not to give Apple a cut of the profits if I don’t have to and I like having the high quality files MMDL offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And iTunes has only top 18? What in the world is going on with DCI this month? First the 55-member rule, now this. Have they decided to purge the lower/smaller corps from the audio as well as from the field? Mike licensing $$$ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were copyright licensing always enforced as strictly for smaller corps previously as it is for the World Class corps? While WC was always on the produced DCI audio products, I get the impression that Div. 2 &3 somewhat glossed that until very recently. I have no facts to back my feeling. It would be interesting to see what facts were/are. Cuts started appearing on open-class DVDs about the same time they started afflicting world-class. Only difference is they were not always listed on the cover (). IIRC, when we still had Fan Network, the first whole corps to be pulled off were open-class units.

MikeN Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 And it's a 4-cd set like normal. I wonder why iTunes didn't get volume 4? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
