All Rights Reserved RELEASED!

General ECC News

Announcing: Our first new album in over seven years!

We're very pleased to announce that our new album is now finally and officially released!  All Rights Reserved is now available as a double CD, on vinyl, or download.

It's just a shame you can't listen to it.

"The lawyers had concerns," ECC's TradeMark Gunderson explains. "Although we felt tracks like our 'What Would You Think If I Sang AutoTune' were clearly parody as well as Fair Use, the legal types thought they were lawsuit-bait." To give the label and the band an extra line of legal defense, the album includes a Listener License Agreement, a set of terms and conditions like those required in order to install computer software. "Fair Use or not, a track like 'Stairway To Britney' could easily offend a litigious party," says Seeland Industries lawyer Sandy Kryle. "We thought the best solution would be a legal agreement that forbids anyone -- everyone -- from listening. Period."

Even with the Listener License Agreement, the product was too hot for some to handle. Both the pressing plant as well as the distributor initially refused to handle the album, saying that All Rights Reserved was too risky -- a surprising reaction in an era when even Girl Talk can't muster a single major label complaint.

"We're not crazy about the idea of suing our fans," says ECC band member Christy Brand. "But it seems to work for the RIAA."

Double CD
(bonus disc with outtakes, commentary tracks, etc.)

Vinyl LP
