I received a very strange and unusual e-mail Monday. It was from someone who had read a 13-year-old post I had made to Film Score Monthly Messageboard about a reissued CD soundtrack.
This person was incensed and quite upset that the CD soundtrack had been reissued and he declared it to be a bootleg and illegitimate and was sorry for me for having been swindled by the perpetrators of the bootleg.
He then went on a rampage about the company that issued "the bootleg" and various people associated with it, all of whom he claimed had NOTHING to do with producing the CD.
I was aghast, agape, agog and TOTALLY fascinated by this e-mail. Let me tell you!
I have since googled this person and discovered him to be exactly who he said he was and his associations with the people currently associated with the label, although without the rampage and accusations that had been hurled in the e-mail.
Fascinated. Of course, I have no interest in becoming embroiled in anything, but I'm nonetheless intrigued.
Lesson: One can be held accountable for anything and everything one has EVER posted on the internet.
