Question about music trading (U2)
I saw that a mod stated in a Dave Matthews thread, that provided we post something from the band regarding "tape trading" we could post a thread...
"I think bootlegs are something that it's very difficult to stop.
Obviously there are fans out there that want to buy them. I don't like
overpriced bootlegs that are ripping the fans off. If they're good
quality recordings of a show then I'm happy enough that people have
access to those things and I know that there's a culture out there
that listens to bootlegs. So I kind of tolerate it, provided the
quality is good and the fans aren't being ripped off." -- Adam Clayton
"The fact that people circulate and swap recordings they've made at
our concerts with tape recorders under their coats I'm actually very
relaxed about that. I know the industry is formally opposed to that
kind of thing but I'm not. I don't have a problem with it at all." --
Paul McGuiness
"The bootleg phenomenon, by which I presume you mean illegal live
recordings of the concerts - I'm very relaxed about that, quite
honestly. I think everyone knows the difference between an authorized
live recording that we would put out, for instance Under A Blood Red
Sky or Rattle & Hum - everyone kind of understands that that's a
legitimate live recording." -- Paul McGuiness
"I have no problems with bootlegs. I think, again, if people make
recordings and give them to their friends - as long as people don't
get ripped off." -- Edge
"My feeling is that it is cool for people to share our music -- as
long as no one is making money from the process. We tell people who
come to our concerts that they can tape the shows if they want. I
think it is cool that people are so passionate about our music" --
Bono
"We invite people to bootleg our shows. We invite people to...make CD
copies....we've no problems with that, but if some guy is gonna make
money off the back of this, we're gonna find out where he parks his
car" -- Bono
Can I/we create a U2 trading thread?
