I've been away from the forum for a while and was wondering the whereabouts of my Aust concert discs.

It is normal for the person who is sending the discs to post here in this thread when they have been sent and to who.
Also, the person receiving them usually advises that they have received them.

The last advice here is that sereneava has the discs.

Have they been passed on to crimpies and has he/she received them?

Have they then been passed onto MasterThief? Has he received them?
Is he the last one to have received the discs or has he passed them on to someone who is not listed here?

The last person to have received the discs still has to make their own copies and keeps the originals to post onto the next person who asks for them even though it may be months or more later.

Sorry for all these questions and instructions - just trying to keep the thread in order so everyone knows where the discs are.

I have an ethical issue with this. Does Leonard get any royalties on this and if he doesn't, why not?

Bob, you shouldn't have any principled problem with this at all.
There are no royalties applicable here and there is no money involved. It’s just simply dedicated people sharing their experiences. In fact, these casual recordings indirectly sell more tickets for the artist to his shows where he does get paid royalties.

We definitely don’t sell audience recordings here. But just so you know, artists and songwriters still do not get royalties from the sale of bootleg recordings.

btw, Bob – I think you are from Auckland, New Zealand so you are very welcome to join this particular vine! If MasterThief is still the last one on the list he is in New Zealand too so it shouldn't be a problem for him to send them to you. As kismet would have it, you would then be the keeper of the CD’s and DVD’s until the next person asks for them

My apologies to Crimpies and Masterthief and anyone else waiting for the discs. I have had a problem with the copying. I've contacted Bev now so hope to be able to pass them on shortly.

Hi sereneava,

I've sent you three PM's a week ago, one with detailed instructions on how to copy all the discs and it appears they've all been received by you but I've had no answer to any of them. Maybe you didn't get them. If you did answer I didn't receive it so I thought I'd better contact you here. I hope you're OK. Please let me know if you still need any further help.

Looking forward to these!

Sereneava,
This is my fifth attempt to contact you. I know you have been on the forum since my last post above so I did expect a reply by now. I've done all I can do to help you but without any feedback it’s hard to draw any conclusions when I’ve had no answers. The only fact I know is that you’ve had my discs for 3 months now so can you please post them on to crimpies straight away – you have the address. Also can you please post here when you have done that so it is known the discs are on their way.

If you have already copied the discs and sent the originals to crimpies that would be wonderful!

Received! Thankyou kindly. Please send me the next address to forward these to.

crimpies, I have just sent you a PM with MasterThief's address so you can send the discs to him.
I did actually send it to you on 18th Feb but it's been so long you must have forgotten

But thank you for acknowledging receiving the discs

Sent a PM and email to MasterThief last week, just waiting for a confirmation before sending it out...
