Yes, I got a similar note from Derek Sivers, among other things he mentioned the 34 CDs I'd bought at CDBaby since 2000, assume he mentioned those CDs to assure me it was really Derek Sivers. :) In my note he said he left CDBaby two years ago. - -- John ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Jul 2010 18:13:55 -0400 From: Paul Blair Subject: Re: Derek Silvers I got the same note. CD Baby was always good at taking generic messages and making them sound personal. I just wonder if it's ok with them that Derek is using their customer list for his own mailings.

I wasn't sure whether or not to be appalled at the 67 discs I bought from them between 2000 and 2007. According to the email, Derek left two year ago. I would guess he got a copy of an old sales database as part of the sale. But he probably had a non-compete clause keeping him from tapping it until now. jeff On Jul 27, 2010, at 6:04 PM, raven@igc.org wrote: > kerry white wrote: >> Hi, Anyone else get an email from Derek Silvers, who just sold CDBaby? >> A personal note w/ mention of something I bought years ago. > > Yes, I got a similar note from Derek Sivers, among other things > he mentioned the 34 CDs I'd bought at CDBaby since 2000, assume > he mentioned those CDs to assure me it was really Derek Sivers. :) > > In my note he said he left CDBaby two years ago. > > > -- > John ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Jul 2010 15:40:24 -0700 From: Sue Trowbridge Subject: Re: Derek Silvers On Tue, Jul 27, 2010 at 3:26 PM, Jeffrey Burka wrote: > Yup, me too.

I would guess he got a copy of an old sales database as part of the sale. But he probably had a non-compete clause keeping him from tapping it until now. Now I'm feeling left out because I haven't received the email. So I dug into my email archives (thanks, gmail) and found the following email, sent from Derek Sivers back in 2008. I don't think I ever clicked on the link -- I'm so overloaded with emails from my clients & friends that I tend to try to stay off most mailing lists. So perhaps that's why I didn't receive the new message. (I still receive promotional emails from CDBaby a couple times a month.) - --Sue Hi Sue - Just checking in to see how often you want to hear from me. Every day I've been writing a helpful or interesting article, here: http://sivers.org/blog If you'd like, I can email these little articles to you each day, so you don't need to check the site. Or, instead I could only email you rarely, with important opportunities or announcements. Or of course I could never email you again. :-) It's up to you. PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK to let me know. Thanks! - -- Derek Sivers derek@sivers.org http://sivers.org ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V15 #184 ***************************
