yep, you are right...i'd say it was ok to do those fund raisers for shows like MK 93 or Roskilde 86 or MC 93, but nearly all the other stuff that has been bought was just average!!

I think at the end of the day, we are all hypocrites Bernd. We shout and get mad at sellers, report them on Ebay, but then go and buy the shows anyway, as its the only way we can get them.
I feel partly responsible for that. Before the MK93 thing, most of the fundraising was behind the scenes via email and PM. There wasnt really any public topics made about stuff like that, maybe on occassion.
After MK93, i stopped trading but still visited here every few weeks/months, and was amazed at how many public fundraiser topics there were.

I think everyone at some point has bought a bootleg, either directly themselves, or part of a raiser and there are 2 types of people...

Type 1. Is totally against the buying/selling of bootlegs, and will never have anything to do with the subject.
Type 2. This person shouts and calls sellers names seeming a part of the "Stand against sellers" but the next day will post saying i will chip in $20 to "Liberate" this show. I.E a hypocrite.

Me? Im a hypocrite, totally! But im big enough to admit it, many wont.

It boils down to this my friends. If you tape a show, it is yours to do with what you like. Trade it, hoard it, or sell it. 2 out of 3 of those options are frowned upon, but happen. As the taper,it is his/her right.
That is my personal opinion, not all will share that view. Also my opinion is, passing off someone elses hard work as your own, and selling it, thats totally wrong and should never be done.

Anyway, i will shut up now lol (sorry for the long ass post!!)

Great post Leper! I agree with you along those lines. I am also a taper and have recently taken off my rt/nft on my bootlegs as i believe the music should be shared freely and spread out among the trading scene for all to see.
