Selling Queen demos ?

We are a group of huge fans of yours, and for years we have been collecting and trading all the unreleased material that has anything to do with Queen. We have hours and hours worth of Queen material you wouldn't even remember recording, let alone all the material you do remember.

We have traded with hundreds of peope around the world, and recently a few of us, a group called Fanthology, came up with the idea of releasing all this material (except of course a few choice items as an exclusive reward for our inner circle) for anyone to publicly download. We had estimated that within a few years, well before any Queen anthology, we would be able to have it all publicly available.

You can imagine our moral outrage when we discovered that somebody in our group had broken their word and humiliated us by already making available something the proper owner (ie. the Fanthology) had not authorised. What's even worse is that now he's selling the same material, and possibly hindering your future business of releasing any official anthology material.

Please advise us how to best stop this unfair and immoral activity. Yours Sincerely

Fanthology"[/QUOTE]

^ lmao!

Fanthology,

How did you intend to circumnavigate the law to distribute unreleased material to a wider audience?

They give it to pittrek and let him take the rap!

I would love the fanthology project. Actually, a proper anthology would be better. I am interested in what could be in a fanthology release?

Please see new threat I've just offered. I hope it might make you feel a little better. That was the intent.

Gb (Queen Archivist)... yes the real one!

Well! Things just took an interesting turn going back to the "resale" of digital music audio... http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-04-04/u.s-judge-rules-against-digital-music-resales [QUOTE][QUOTENAME]Anime News Network wrote: [/QUOTENAME] U.S. District Judge Richard Sullivan ruled against the sale of "used" digital music in a case against the reseller ReDigi on Monday. The judge stated "the first-sale defense is limited to material items, like records, that the copyright owner put into the stream of commerce." ReDigi's business model was based on users' ability to sell digital music content. After a sale, ReDigi deleted the original owner's copy via their cloud storage. Music label Capitol Records took issue and brought ReDigi to court claiming the company was making way for copyright infringment. Judge Sullivan agreed, pointing out that users can purchase a digital file and make copies for personal use before reselling the file, and that the process of the sale creates copies as well. Amazon patented a digital resale market, including music, in 2009. It was approved in February. [/QUOTE]

Been lurking for awhile. This whole self-righteous "collectors" bunch are a riot. You spend a ridiculous amount of time and money on 99% drivel. About the only thing ever mentioned to be in the hands of one of you that is truly interesting is "Hangman" and I doubt that's even true. This John fellow hasn't offered up a 15 second audio sample has he? I heard all the unfinished scraps on youtube and "I Guess We're Falling Out" is the only song that's almost a full song. Now if someone had the Freddie version "Let Me In Your Heart Again" or actual finished Queen tracks that were unreleased I could get what the fuss is about but ad lib dees and dahs over skeletal backing tracks is only valuable to you obsessive collector elites.

Frankly unless there's good, completed stuff out there most Queen fans don't want to hear it anyway.[/QUOTE]

True, it is not that good eating something that never gets going, moe frustrating than not hearing anything at all.
I then the gang got jealous of him, after all he was mr popular and still is on youtube, and they are not popular at all
Loll have to laugh ...
Little pleasures come to me my hard work in this forum ,but this stupid argument based entirely upon jealousy amongst a group of idiots lightens my load and brings a warm glow to my smiling face.
