Putting my name on the menu

Post by even13flow »

Hey all, to those that don't know I filmed and released Killswitch Engage on May 6. In a first, I authored the show so I put my name on the menu

Is this a stupid move? Most people don't really associate their names with bootlegs, just their usernames and/or nicknames. I just don't want this to come back and bite me in the ass.

I don't really see an issue with it. There are a lot of forums I'm on where we openly use our first names, and I've seen a lot of instances where traders are listed on people's good or bad trader lists with full name and nickname, along with a link to websites.

Gotta figure chances of our names being out there and not that hard to find are pretty good.

well i think anyway of trying to stop others from altering and making shows out to be there own is a good thing. as for adding your real name, i see no harm in it at all, for instance most of the met collectors from various boards know each other to some degree by 1st name anyway.
and like posted above, i always list, username, realname, website, email for all the traders i have dealt with.
so i think it will be ok.

I don't see an issue with it. And like Mark said, w/ the amount of people most of us traded with it's not too hard to find our addresses.

Something I may do in the future..........add something somewhere about "do not sell this DVD, blah blah blah", just in the rare chance the band gets a copy of the DVD, something to cover your own ass.

I don't see why it would be a problem, but to be safe I'd only use my nickname...

Good point there, Nick. Something I really should do, especially since most of the filming I do anymore is with permission of the band, and they always get copies.
