What is happening?where are the people that believe in "The more generous you are with your music, the more it comes back to you."?

You really have absolutely NO shame at all do you?
You were given access to these tracks on the condition that you kept them to yourself, yet over the last few months you have been publishing rarities you had no right to share with anyone.
Not only have you broken your promise to a small handful of collectors who, as YourValentine quite rightly points out, have spent THOUSANDS purchasing original copies of these and other items over their lifetimes, you have pretty much made damn sure that those very people will NEVER AGAIN share anything with the Queen Community.
Enjoy your brief moment of fame as a "hero", but I hope that everyone here reading this will also realise what an untrustworthy individual you are and realise that you have systematically just bitten the hands that have fed Queenzone for so long.
I'm disappointed :(

Where are they?
They are the people who have been feeding Queenzone since the very beginning:
The people who spend thouands to acquire original copies of items that come up for auction and trade rarities with each other until such time as their tradeable value has diminished, at which point they are shared here and elsewhere.
In the last few years though, those "Elite Collectors" as some like to call them, HAVE begun to share recordings that would otherwise still have major tradeable value (look at Houston 77, the BBC Sessions and countless amatuer video and audio recordings)
Sadly, David Fuller has just systematically destroyed all of that by breaking his promise and sharing various items over the last few months.
Sure, there are some good times happening now, but shortly it will all dry up and your 'Hero' of the hour will be the person that has just ruined it for everyone.

ah the elite have spoken.
don;t you realise that it's the hoarders who spend thousands that drive the price UP, that's why you spend thousands because if you weren't so keen to buy it for yourselves there would be less demand and therefore a lower price. Then it wouldn't matter if it got shared.
You are competing against each other to buy it anyway, if the aim was to buy and share it then the value would go down because fewer people would worry about "owning it"
One person would own the original which would have it's own collectable value but the content would benefit us all and be worthless.
Don't make people promise not to share stuff, as Roger said believe in yourself and NOBODY else. "trust no-one. promises were made to be broken. " all cliche's but all true.
If it's that fucking important don't share it with anyone, listen to it in your little ivory towers and play who's got the biggest,
I don't care anymore. I no longer care if it's FLAC, mp3 or nth gen. I'll give it a listen and decide whether it's actually ANY GOOD. Over the years I've realised that most of it isn't brilliant, unique or perfect. There are other musicians, bands and genres that hold my attention these days.
From my perspective as someone who once was able to spend hundreds if not thousands on Queen and now realises that with a family and mortgage there are other priorities.
. Thanks Dave

It is indeed a sad individual who thrives on short-term adulation acquired from the betrayal of trust. I'm not a serious collector, but I understand how those that are, are feeling. It's a real shame when one person spoils things for the rest of a community, but sadly, sooner or later, it always seems to happen. :(
