The label is an example of Rosenstock's DIY ideals. Many of the label's artists have personal connections, and all of the music released by the label is available as a free download from its website, along with an array of lyrics and photos. In fact, the label does not sell any material of any kind, and the website's headline bills the label as "The First Ever Donation Based Record Label".<ref>[http://www.quoteunquoterecords.com ::-::Quote Unquote Records::Rock And Roll For Donations::-::<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>[http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=178785 Bomb The Music Industry! - 10.11.06 - Interview - AbsolutePunk.net<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>[http://www.punknews.org/article/27814 Punknews.org | Bomb The Music Industry!

Rosenstock explains the modest success of Quote Unquote Records by stating, "The donations that come in are not huge, but since we don’t spend that much money they pile up." Most donations are more than the $5 suggestion.<ref>[http://www.razorcake.org/site/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=14717 Razorcake - Interview With Bomb The Music Industry<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110924102936/http://www.razorcake.org/site/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=14717 |date=2011-09-24 }}</ref> During October 2008, the Quote Unquote Records web site was shut down over alleged copyright infringement in publishing its own songs;<ref>{{cite web|title=Record Label 'Infringes' Own Copyright, Site Pulled|url=http://torrentfreak.com/record-label-infringes-own-copyright-site-pulled-081019/|access-date=2008-10-20|date=2008-10-19|work=TorrentFreak}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.p2pnet.net/story/17350 |title=p2pnet news » Copyright monster gets Quote Unquote Records<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=2009-10-10 |archive-date=2009-01-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090101214123/http://www.p2pnet.net/story/17350 |url-status=dead }}</ref> however, the site was quickly restored.<ref>[http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=85036965&blogID=441944198 QUOTE UNQUOTE RECORDS DOWN FOR A MINUTE. - MySpace-blog | Quote Unquote Records<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
