Guest gnr>everything Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 1. No, selling bootlegs and DVD-R's(in most cases) are illegal, but that doesn't seem stop anyone else.2. You can probably make some cash, but you will become hated among the GN'R trading community I think.3. On eBay's section about their policy, they just say the item will be deleted and your account could possibly be restricted - but they don't really follow through on that.

Why bother asking the question if you're going to be a smartarse when people give you the answer? Seems like the only answer you want to hear is 'yes, you can sell bootlegs on ebay'. Well -- you can't.You didn't get up on stage and play the concerts -- you weren't part of the sound crew recording them -- you didn't write the songs.Despite all this -- you still seem to think you have the right to make a profit off the sale of the concerts? Bootlegs are for TRADING. People that sell bootlegs ruin it for everyone else. Get it into your head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why is trading so much more acceptable than a sale between a willing buyer and seller? Who drew the line at selling? Because that seems pretty arbitrary to me.The bottom line is that the record companies don't give a shit either way because bootlegs are not hurting their profits. If the posted speed limit is 70km/h but the understanding between the cops and drivers is that you won't get a ticket unless you go over 90, then is going over 70 really illegal? I say no.

I bought a show from someone on eBay, and the package was sent from David Prisby. Few days later I downloaded It's So Easy from Frankfurt 93 I believe, and there's a big thing that comes over the screen in the beginning of the song that says, Thank <blank>, <blank>, <blank>, and David Prisby...and all the assholes who buy from them for this logo. This show is to be given out for free to any fan who wants it. So yeah, there's some hostility between traders and sellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
