Yes sorry, I was referring to the ban, not the stopping of it.

I hope this is succesful. I can’t believe that they happily banned a country for an illegal invasion but can’t ban another one for an actual genocide.

There’s enough people boycotting it that it’s in their interests to do it too.

I hear bands like Linkin Park referred to as classic rock quite a bit and that’s early 2000’s. I cringe every time someone says it.

This is odd. Like if your job says you need to be in the office 3 days a week I disagree but you’d need to follow that, but you can’t change someones terms of work midway through. If you hire remote workers then they’re remote workers.

A master tape is the song recorded in the studio which will then be replicated and distributed. A remaster means you make a new one of those. Often that can mean just re-recording (a lot of Taylors remasters do this) or it can mean you totally change the music. There’s never a situation where you can’t get the old version though. Just buy the old CD/vinyl/tape/whatever that comes from the master you like.
