Is this pack mob suddenly now very afraid of attacking QPL, who are clearly siding with us collectors, with the very same tar brush they used to attack us with??
Think about it.
It's quite simply because QPL is the moral authority when it comes to determining what should be done with the unreleased Queen material.
I have nothing against traders or trading in general. It's not my thing, but I don't really care if other people want to pursue it. UNLESS they start airing their own personal issues in the public.
As far as I am concerned, this whole thing started when the Fanthology (or person close to it) started a public campaign to discredit David Fuller last year, after David had released to the public something which he was not supposed to have done. I have no sympathy for traders who are very publicly crying foul after they have commited that very same foul against the artist in their own circle.

QPL, as the artist, composer, and manufacturer of the original recordings has every right to pull down David's youtube channel if they so wish. I don't have to agree with it, but I have to respect their wishes. (Just like I don't agree with Prince for pulling down EVERY youtube video with his music, I have to respect his views.)
If I was a trader, I would take that as a hint to NOT continue a public debate of how I have traded (and would keep on trading) the material QPL has wanted to remain out of the public domain.
