I think thats a rare example, South African items are rare to come by, and what has come up has been pretty legit. [You can easily tell if its real or fake]. But yeah, it can be done, i've bought a copy of St. Anger which was meant to be a Thai edition but it was clearly a crappy scan.

Not really, since there is no physical item. The guy can make multiple copies and sell them all, which is quite different from only being able to sell one of something.
Yes true, i did not tihnk of that

Actually, Metallica should be pissed...not the fans...or a Lawyer?....we dont lose anything the Band does. Im sure the auction will be shut down.

the poor guy buying this probably has no idea about LM and all the shows available.....it's mostly Diehard fans who buy those. Im sure the main stream ebay surfer has no idea.

someone should pm the buyer and let him know.....i would but i dont have an ebay account.
hehe, it's quite wrong to say that the band Looses something, since they actually don't, they just don't get anything for it. No profit. Anyway, I think the band do pretty good on these Livemet's anyway so guys like this will most likely get away with what they're doing, Even if what they're doing is wrong.
I still think it's pretty silly of some of you guys who come and complain about this since you're trading the shows yourselves. Metallica don't wish those shows to be traded out either.

To be honest, In the eyes of Lars Ulrich, James Hetfield, Kirk Hammet, Rob Trujillo i think trading the livemets out is almost just as bad as selling them, because they don't gain anything out of either someone else ( than 'tallica themselves ) selling them or someone else trading them out. So before you judge the sellers, maybe you should look over your own deals.

But I don't really blame the people who trade the shows either, they are far to expensive to be bought all of them and it's super-easy to download them of other boards or sites on the net for free. I just blame those who complain about the sellers, when they are just about as bad themselves.

What is silly too is that some of you seem to browse E-bay to find these people, playing some kind of internet cops. What's your profit? No thank you letter from Metallica ( maybe just from fixxer or the met.com administrator if you're lucky ), No gauge, you don't change anything because they keeep coming up no matter if you stop one person. More people keep on trying their luck no matter what you do ( history can tell ). Your haunt is just a simple waste of your own good time. Someone wise once said- Don't worry about things you can't change.

lol, I personally don't spend my time on eBay looking for them, I just searched for live shows and I found this link.
I've a lot of others things to do in my life, and time it's never enough!!! :P

Anyway I don't think trade LM shows is like sell them, I don't get money if I trade a show, just some audio files... :yes:

About our community, Metallica don't mind about the shows we trade between us, but just for original stuff they recorded, so I can't see a bad thing about trades of bootlegs.

yea but i mean in general :yes: . south african is just "some country i wrote". i just mean there are many fake "official" items around and people claim they're super rare.

same about the malaysian 7" promo's. they seem to be superrare, but who knows they're bootlegs? they don't look that professional don't they

Yeah I kinda realised that but didn't take it account. :P

Not too sure on the Malaysian 7" promos, they only popped up within the past 2 years, and ive been seeing more and more on ebay, from the same people I think, its possible they are making them. Who know's if they it was once real or not.
