true but if you download from things like winmx your not buying so bootleggers make no profit

for god sake another fraud!!!!

Not really sneaker, he didn't claim to be the real one. He just chose that nick as a mark of respect I'm guessing. Granted, not too original, but some people aren't. 8)

Hells ya, I only wanted to show respect for the man himself. Agreed, not too original, but I'm sure someone who uses the name "chemicalfan" shouldn't criticise others ingenuity. ;-)



Anyway, I recall a certain block rockin' duo ripping off the moniker of another double act of contemporary producers and getting away with it....well, for a while anyway....

Don't feel bad. I know 2 guys who did the same thing. Does anyone know who I mean??? 8)

bootlegs. definately frownd apon by the record companies, but not always by bands. record companies see it as theft of copyrighted music. but for some bands it can be a very good unofficial promotional tool for live shows. their are plenty of band forums out there which have bootleg trading sections for fans to trade their live recordings. i think with something like the chilie set which was broadcast on the radio, you gotta expect that people will record them. and in this day in age those recordings are gonna spread around the world via the internet. as long as no one is profiting outta someones work its not doing that much harm.



i do like the way concert recordings are going. there has been over the last year a new medium developing, instant recordings!!



Instant Live records concerts and burns them to CD right at the show, so concert-goers are able to literally take the show home with them. Instant gratification.



i think this is awesome. there is a reformed band im going to see in january which will have these instant recordings on sale at the end of the gig!! i will be able to re live the whole gig on my way home in the car!!! i know the pixes also did the same for their come back tour. i think this is a great use of modern technology. could you imagine this happening at a chemical brothers show??? how cool would that be!!!!

Instant replays would be awesome, it's a great idea. Just to have, for posterity's sake. I could play it for my boy and say "I was there, that's me screaming!"



Then when I'm at the old folks' home, I could play it so I could feel young again.



It's strange, but after a show where I was totally blown away, I find it hard to listen to music on the drive home. My car stereo is never loud enough, my ears feel like they're filled with cotton, and the cd just pales in comparison. But it might be different listening to a show I was just at.



The last time I saw the Chems, they closed the festival. We were staying not too far from the venue, and we walked home. We were still buzzing pretty hard and it was so great walking under the warm starry sky with my husband and friends - the only sounds (besides us talking about the show) were the the cars tangled in the parking lot in the distance, and our tired feet shuffling on the ground.

Come to think of it, the instant bootlegging reminds me of what happened at Grateful Dead shows (besides the obvious tripping ;) ). The whole Dead scene was an interesting subculture, with people caravaning and living out of their cars and following the band from venue to venue. There were always lots of fans taping the Dead shows from all the stops, then copying them and giving them away afterwards. Of course the quality was crap, copying was time consuming but it was something for people to hold onto later on. Nowadays the technology is there to mass produce these instant bootlegs and the quality is better than those old warbly tapes!

the instant bootlegging seems a brilliant idea. Its allways nice seeing on tv or hereing a gig you went u remember the bits you forgot.
