No-one forced you to buy it.
You sound very Dutch. Are you?

The guy's alright, but I'm kinda disappointed with his stance on this one, considering he was all guns blazing against the bootleggers on eBay.

Still waiting for the list of shoddy shill bidders he was talking about in said thread :)

He then says: Email [email protected] for prices (nothing over $30!) or make offer

So.....nothing really OVER-interesting in the list. Even if under $30! And a few fakes in there, too.

Although it's not the issue here, and I don't condone what he did to fanthology members, I really hope this ain't all he scammed from them. If it is - and that's all they have - combined with what has already been leaked, there really is not a lot left out there.....

"Queen + Wyclef Another One Bites The Dust 'X-Mix'"

Oh wow, let me go get my chequebook.

I've got a better list than that and I'm 12.

"Queen - You Take My Life unreleased track (unconfirmed)"

It's a bit of a shame he doesn't have Two Worlds Apart too, as they were meant to segue into each other I think.

What's interesting here is that a list like this actually tells us why QP isn't interested in shutting him down.
This is the kind of stuff that they would never release, so it isn't actually cutting in QP's profit in any way.

A serious bootlegger / pirate would be selling all the b-sides, all the extended remixes, all the concerts, etc... That's the kind of thing that might get QP interested in legal action.

"Queen - You Take My Life unreleased track (unconfirmed)"

I hope the guy who originally posted it to the Remixes forum gets a cut.

Seriously though, is Fuller that unable to identify a clear re-edit of existing songs? Or is it too noisy down in Pit Lane for him to pay proper attention to the stuff he sells?

"That's the kind of thing that might get QP interested in legal action"

It's a real shame they aren't willing to pursue him purely on the technicalities of it, then.

You don't actually know that though, tero. I'd agree that some of the stuff on the list is not worth the hoo-ha, but there are still a good few items there that could have been released (and still might) as part of the supposed boxset.

And, again, whether it's actually cutting into profits (or not), is still not the issue. I have to agree with Zeb's post above.

I don't KNOW it, but it's a very probable guess.

We are after all talking about an individual who repeatedly returns to YouTube after a minor time-out, and still keeps the same old material available.
I'm pretty sure that if Queen Productions really was interested in getting him offline, they would have already done so.

^ silly technicalities that we may not be aware of, perhaps - but I think they definitely want, and will have him, shut down. We can only wait and see.

The real question is: does he give a damn?

No, he doesn't. And that's how dirty snakes are.

"I'm pretty sure that if Queen Productions really was interested in getting him offline, they would have already done so"

Might just be that they don't know how to properly work the system. Youtube's appeals process can be slippery in both directions - it's not always the juggernaut people think it is. Put it this way - if a mug like me can get videos reinstated with a couple of emails to Experience Hendrix LLC under the premise of 'I'll take the video down myself later', then I'm pretty sure Dave "Not Now Mom Dale Is On His Final Lap" Fuller can figure out a way to keep his channel going.

The vague impression I get is that unless the property owner is going to take actual legal action against you, you'll get your video back. It's worked that way for me in the past, at least. While it might not be economical for QP to go after him because 'we'll never catch all of the vile profiteers!', that's a weak excuse - this one is advertising his presence boldly and without any kind of remorse. All it says to me as a fan is "I can go and sell Queen stuff illegitimately - it doesn't matter".

So fuck him.

I don't understand why some of you are angry with David R Fuller, when he's "giving" you the songs that Queen Productions won't...?!

I agree with ITSM. Is only a seller, nothing less, nothing more.
QP and Jim Beach preffer to publish the 105 greatest hits collection than a box set with rareties...Why? Because give them more money. A box set like the FM bx, is very expensive and limited, not everybody can buy it, but a new cd...for the people who are discovering Queen is perfect, for the Queen fanatics who have everything, they also would buy it, etc, etc...Jim Beach only wants money, end of the story. The perfect example is the best of Freddie Mercury, for example...Two only studio albums, and two compilations, and the second with a lot of different kind of editions...So...
