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.

"Chuck a tanty" wasn't one I heard in my week and a half in Australia, but how fun! I might appropriate that one, too, along with "no worries."

The distinction is Justin's show is now commercially avalable, whereas these are bootlegs and really, no one who would pay for a CD of them wouldn't buy the official record when it came out.

You got the good quality clips, right, after they've been equalized into stereo? And yay that you're getting them so soon after we are!

And not at all! You've been lovely. Do drop in again. :)

If the clips I have are the bad quality ones, I think the good quality ones would probably blow my mind.

Excuse my failing memory, it was rendered useless after listening to those clips. I believe I downloaded the clips from fuskeez who had uploaded them. I made sure to thank her.

And yeah, 'chuck a tanty' is one of my favorites. *g*

If the sound is coming out of both speakers and you don't have to turn the sound up to hear them, then you're set.

*g* I, too, was speechless the first time I heard them. They actually sound better than the live show - there was a lot of bass that the microphone somehow didn't get overwhelmed by.
