I think we end up talking about different senses of the word "intention". 1. "Did you intend to put out a release called 'My Awesome Series, Vol. = III'?" >> probably "Yes" 2. "What was your intention when you wrote 'Vol.' instead of 'Volume'?" = >> probably "What? I dunno. What's the difference?" IMO, for something to be "artist intent", it needs to be in some way a = meaningful difference to the artist. Alex / caller#6
