Wow - that was quick - I just changed the label about 10 mins before you posted - many thanks for the feeback.

It can be a fine line between "home made" and "fake" (or unofficial) but there is a big difference between both of these and "Disk Union" or "Manufacturer". DU and Sony etc are sanctioned by the copyright owner. All others are not - regardless of how well made they are.

"Fakes" pretend to be the real thing, usually by omission rather than an outright lie but it's still the same in the end. "Home made" do not pretend to be anything else.

I'll sleep on it - anyone else care to comment?
