Jeremy, that's probably the most pathetic excuse I've ever heard for
copyright theft.

To justify selling bootlegs (200 a month doesn't seem like a 'minor'
bootlegging operation if you ask me) with the fact that you assume you've
put so much money into Stings pocket... What nonsense, really.

Would you walk into McDonalds and help yourself to the food and start giving
it away, simply because you feel you've paid them enough already?

If you feel hard done by for not getting anything in return for sending out
200 bootlegs a month, then stop doing it...  Not only will you be doing your
social life a great favour, but you'll also be running much less of a risk
of grabbing the RIAA's attention...

Don't leave the list because of all this recent stuff...  It'll blow over.

This is getting mildly if not completely ridiculous. I do not feel I have to
defend anything, especially to someone who can't even post under their own
name no less. Whatever the case, what little money I have ever made from
selling the odd sting cd to people who are offering to pay because they have
nothing to trade in return is far outweighed by the money that I have
personally put into stings pocket. When you have been collecting for over 20
years, you get a little tired of sending 200 shows per month for nothing in
return. I do not know of anyone one us long term collectors that feels
otherwise. This is a HUGE step away from having a major bootlegging
operation as it was referred to in an earlier post.

I have been on this list for a long long time. I have been an avid sting
fan, collector and concert go'er for a long long time. I feel I have
contributed to this list for years, have written endless concert reviews
that would go unknown if it were not for me.

I know who my friends are, and they know who I am, and that is good enough
for me.

I am leaving the mailing list now anyways as it now longer a good source of
anything other than endless negativity. Never have I seen a mailing list so
full of people that hate the point of the mailing list so much.

Sad really

Jeremy
