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.

Yeah, and the thing is there are people who don't know about the JJB or nsycnstudio or LJ who know about him and it would be great for them to have it, too. My only beef was that he was charging above-cost for them. I even would've been okay with some margin given that he claimed to have cleaned them up even more and doing the actual work of burning, but not what he was charging. Also, there was a way to go about dealing with the whole issue, and he's been curt and insulting.
