Using_my_illusion Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 So how the fuck are we supposed to discuss something if we can't hear it or can request someone to send us something privately? That just makes no God damn sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our policy at the time was that YouTube links were allowable since we were not hosting them on the site -- I still didn't really feel comfortable sharing links, BUT this was in a thread where people were claiming the guy who ran the Uzi Suicidal channel was officially affiliated with GN'R, so, at the time I was actually wondering whether GN'R had decided to combat the leaks by uploading an 'official' version, because the video looked legit and claimed to be legit. Was a simple mistake on my part. I wasn't "posting links like a champion" - and I have NOT uploaded or shared links to any of the subsequent leaks, nor encouraged people to share them, and in fact have removed multiple links! Your post really rubbed me the wrong way - I don't appreciate being lied about behind my back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to private message people discretely, we're not going to condone it, but frankly there's nothing we can do it about it, and aren't liable for what you do in private. But we're liable for the public forum. So that's how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Who contacted you guys? Not complaining, I get it, I'm just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Who contacted you guys? Not complaining, I get it, I'm just curious. I only just found out about it - I was at work when everything went down so I missed out on the fun, but my understanding is that GN'R's legal team sent a letter telling us to remove all links, etc. The standard stuff.

Estranged Reality Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Well that's a bummer. Too bad, if they visited here they'd see how much positivity it garnered. I'm not in any fashion condoning downloading, I acknowledge it's simply illegal to share copyrighted material no matter your justification, but I will say this: I think given the opportunity, every single one of us here would happily pay for a mastered version of Going Down. It's not like they've lost much potential revenue with this leak - if anything there's probably more hype for a finished version now. Even if it's just us here on the forums who care about it, that's a few thousand people. Release an MP3 and charge $1 or something and I'd be happy to pay it. That's a half glass full way of looking at it for the band. I understand it's probably more complex on their end and for whatever reason the 'release online and pay what you want' strategy may not be feasible. Seems to be working for Prince though and he hated the Internet and fought against it for years and years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its primarily just those of us on the forums, and as you said all of us are here because we are waiting for the opportunity to buy something. And while I understand it's an illegal copyright issue, the song/songs were rough unfinished demos, certainly nothing that would harm future profit.
