I think this interesting for sure.....however, its gonna make bad publicity for all the filmers/tapers out there . Maybe give security more reason to search harder .

my english is not the best and dont understand all in this chlip, but i think you are right its not the best publicity for filmers, the secus are mayby not the problem, its easer to find a filmer weeks later via internet, on YT, Trade sites, or forums.

And unfortunally the Bootleg seller are more and more

Really? I thought bootleg market became more and more obsolete over the years.

I think there seems to be some confusion of what the title is actually refering to. Bootleg Cowboys.....we here, as on many other forums, class what we do, trade, film, as bootlegs. You film or audio record a concert, and you trade it. Now, from watching the video, it seems they are talking about a bootleg copy of a studio album. Taking money from us. Everyone knows that an established band, IE Metallica, Megadeth, etc etc DO NOT SELL AUDIENCE RECORDED CONCERTS, Period! So how then, is what we do taking money from the artists?

Even if you are a seller, you are still not taking money from Mustaine or Hetfields pocket. The filmers have already put money INTO their pockets, by buying a ticket to attend the show in order to record.

Apart from the filmers who make it a business, attending a show to film, and then selling the resulting bootleg, filmers are FANS.....the FANS have already bought the studio albums, attended concerts, bought T-Shirts etc etc IE SUPPORTED the band.

Metallica were smart. They have been aware of their fanbase filming since the early 80's, heck, they even had a tapers section! Now, they record every concert in great quality, which people add to their bootleg, giving the best possible sound. That is great business by Mr Ulrich! Other bands should embrace bootlegs as great advertising.

Sorry, went off on one a little bit!

What I'm saying is this. This documentary is about concert filming, or making a bootleg copies of studio albums?

[koopee27]

its about concert filming and the stories behind it. Mustaine just gets into piracy in his interview..
