How do you feel about trade or b and p of OOP DCC and MFSL titles?

What is the rule around here concerning the trade of OOP DCC and MFSL material? There are some titles out there that I know we would all like to have, but just cant afford to buy at 35 to 100 bucks or more each. Those of you that have extensive collections of Floyd, Clapton, Rush, McCartney, jazz titles etc could help others that are unable to find these titles at reasonable prices. If needed, contact me by PM.
Thanks

Rob, I think that's too much information.

 

I believe it's frowned upon here since it is how Steve makes his livelihood.
It's all in the member agreement.

I'd think trades of *original* discs would be OK, but trading or distributing copies would be a no-no.

Da rules:

Please note however, that CD-R trading and/or bootlegging is NOT allowed here! If you spot such a post, please report it to a moderator.

I am only talking about OOP cds. After they have been purchased at retail and are no longer available at the retail point of sale, then the only people who stand to make any money are the guys running the local used cd palace, or the guys on ebay that want 150 bucks per copy. I am all for buying cds that are available at Best Buy etc, but when it is out of print, what is the problem?

 

Probably nothing wrong with it (per se)...but this is not a good place for the advertisment. After all Steve is in the record biz.

 

Short answer - Not here.

Official Gort Response (OGR for short): Not on the public forum.

That's "GI" for short.

On a related note, I have a question about those of you who copy vinyl to cd. Would it be accepted to trade cdr copies of your records with others on the forum? If member xyz had The Beatles German Sgt. Pepper in stereo or the MMT German stereo version and they wanted to save it to their hard drive and no-noise/declick as they saw fit and then burn copies, would it still be considered forbidden? Since this is there own version, and different than any other copy, would it be ok? They could be given out as samples of said person's mastering skills. Anyway...

 

Best way: trade E-Mails with interested parties; do not discuss out in the forum any such things. Covers Steve and everyone else, too. Remember, in your profile section you can list an E address and keep it active so you can be E'd anytime. Some members insist on giving permission for their E's to be sent to another member. Never a problem with me; my E is always open

BL65,

As Ed has stated, all discussions regarding trading of music, of any type, in any format, for any reason are to be kept off-line. There are no exceptions!

Thank you!

Bob

 

You're E'd all the time.




Well I thought it was funny.

 

I asked about trading home remasters a couple of months ago, and the thread was removed, and when I checked, I was told this was not allowed, either. I assume it is still trading copyrighted material, and that's not allowed.

 

As always Jim, if you or any of your agents are caught, SH forum will disavow any knowledge of your mission. This thread will self destruct in 1 day.

 

Not bad, Jamie, but you missed the big chance I left you:

"My E is always open" Out of context, that doesn't come out quite the way it went in....

ED

 

Ed,

 

Yeah, I know what you mean....

ED

 

Uh, am I in the "ADULT" section of the forum?

mud-

 

There is one? Where? Can you post a link?

 

Yeah, check out the early pages of the JOHNNY B. GORT thread, in case you missed them. Mud posted an Anna K photo that is to die for....

ED

 

I just thought E'd was the abbreviation for Edward.

 

Why didn't I think of that?
