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

aruanMy 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.

But please, don't let him and his assholery make you feel anything but great about the joy you brought to many, many people. Just because he can't (or doesn't choose to) understand the issue here doesn't change the validity of your position.

Date: December 12th, 2003 06:20 pm (UTC)Yeah, Schiz and I have been chatting, too, and really, I need y'all sitting next to me to remind at irrational moments like this that, yes, he is in fact being rude and an "asshat" and that we've been more than thorough in getting the clips around to everyone, and that ultimately he's trying to turn a profit on something that was meant as public domain. If he were providing a service, he'd be doing what we are, or offering the discs at cost. Sometimes I need it spelled out like that.
