Now you have your recording, can watch it all day and everything is fine. When you let it out, you still have your copy can watch it and everything is fine. Whats the difference? None. The ONLY difference is you make a lot of music lovers happy. If somebody puts the recording on ebay: so what. You cant blame the whole trading community just because theres one or two black sheep. And it doesnt affect you anyways. You can still watch your copy and everything is fine. You would not even recognize it.
you are definately right, peter...so many metallica friends on this board here and on other boards would be more than happy if some shows appear...and i'm sure they would so much appreciate it and they would also appreciate a lot the work filmers do - getting cams into the venue, filming during the whole show, authoring the shows.
i have filmed quite a few shows too and released them. yes, it was hard work, to bring the cam in, to stand there still for 2 hours and film the band while others heandbang and enjoy the show, it took hours and hours to author the shows and put them on dvds...but guess what, it was all worth this work. now i have some great memories on some amazing shows i have been too...and after releasing them it was nice to see that others are enjoying them too and appreciate it that they now have a memory on the fantastic shows they have visited!!
so, why not let others enjoy also your great filming work??? there will be much more people who would appreciate it and be thankful than some assholes who will try to sell it on ebay!!
if a shows is traded out freely, it's easier for all to get it....and this way one will not be able to make a lot of money when selling it on sites like ebay, because a lot of people already have it!!
