Why doesn DPRP sell CDs or have banners by bands or labels?
Our previous sponsor agreement with Vuurwerk prohibited commercial activities, so before our transfer we were not able to do so. However, even though we can now accept advertisement money, or even sell CDs, we prefer to stay as objective as possible and fully independent of any band or label. Sure, we have some very close contacts with some bands and record labels, but we do not enter into a commercial or financial relationship with them. It is however needed that we will get some sort of cash-flow going (posting CDs to a large team of reviewers in 5 countries isn’t particularly cheap), so in the future you might encounter these activities on the site.
