Turn It Down
Here's an older interview with the Turn It Down campaign, these guys are great!
"Mia Park is the co-owner Dig It all Media Works, a company that duplicates compact discs, makes posters, and does a bunch of other cool stuff.
Dig It All Media Works does not, and will not, press white power CD's. Why?"...
...To be quite honest, I guess we weren't really aware the popularity or the demand for this kind of music. We were kind of ignorant of it until I talked to the Turn It Down campaign.
We do get the cd's early enough in the day where I try to make a conscious effort to listen to them or at least try to listen to parts of each one to make sure that it is something that we agree with. I would feel pretty crappy pressing a white power CD and not even knowing about it. I think we should be a little accountable.
Why should a pressing plant be responsible for the CD's that they press?
For me, it is a grey area. One of the great things about America is that we do have freedom of speech and every voice needs to be heard, whether its an opinion that you agree with or not. But, another great thing about America is that in a capitalist society and as a business owner, I can choose to do business with whoever I want. I would prefer not to do business with someone who holds ideas and values that I disagree with. I don't think that white power music is positive, I don't think it sends out the right message or energy to people, and I just completely disagree with it. I think people should be allowed to say what they want, but I don't have to listen or help promote it if I don't want to.
It is difficult to listen to every CD that you get in. On the same and, however, it is clear that Dig It All does not want to support white power music.
It is difficult, there's only so much time in a day. A company like ours is already busy enough, and we don't require that lyric sheets accompany each order.
