It has no commercial value (I have ruined its 'piracy potential' by crossfading tracks and saving it as 1 lowish bit-rate file) and it might just make you think about buying CDs! So no harm done nor intended.

If Sake only wants five, can I have "Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch", too?

Sorry for the delay. Was a little stormy on the Pacific. You can keep that witch, as long as I can do that on stage a little more part 1 😉

People give each other 'mix tapes' all the time, yeah? No harm done nor intended. In fact the artist stands to gain and does not lose a single rupiah.
