Okay, I'm just going to sum it all up.

My only issue was that Bruce was selling the clips for a profit. If he'd made them available at cost, I wouldn't have cared if he'd asked to use them or not. Heck, I'd make the CDs myself if someone asked. I'm glad people have kept my name attached simply because it means people have been getting back to my journal to say how much they're loving them. But I don't care if they don't, so long as they're out there sharing them.

However, Bruce's calling me "greedy" for not sharing the clips extensively enough on my own and objecting to his solution of turning around and charging people for them? Fuck that. Obviously, the solution here is that I need my own webspace to make it more available, which don't think I'm not looking into doing right now. I've bought from him before, yes (for the record, all TV appearances and nothing commercially available), and most of his stuff really is doing a service to fandom - all the rare appearances and such that won't be reaired all in one place and fairly reasonably priced, even when he's not having a sale.

Whatever, man. Anyone who wants it, and I say this with any media I mention, need only hit me up one way or the other and I'll get it to you some way.

Not in our e-mails, that was a direct quote about me from a reply someone else got from him though, yes. In fact, the way he phrased it, it's JC who's upset with me for getting greedy about sharing them. Not that he authorized me to do it in the first place. And wow, that really is as ridiculous as it first sounded to me, good.

Done. Just, done. And yeah, I've bought from him before, too, same as many others and have been grateful for what he's provided. But the way he's gone about this whole mess from the beginning has been wrong and unnecessarily petty.
