I know I shouldn't say this, but I think its bad that you have to pay £5 for a concert when folk's could come here, but on the other hand I can also see where Queen are coming from as well.....trouble is most fans have some bootlegs in there collection already.
Well, QPL wanted to quash bootlegging they said. They just want to stop the free downloads. If they can find some bootlegs that are popular and make them official at the click of a mouse AND make money AND stop downloading without paying, that's some pretty smart business...
But that will encourage trading again and make collecting bootlegs more of a challenge, yes?

I just wonder how on earth they can do bootlegs official when they haven`t recorded it themself??
.......and they could alway's released the 'Live' stuff they have in their vaults. I'm sure they have some gems in there that were bootlegged by the folk's that went to the show's anyway (Euro Jazz Tour comes to mind) and didn't someone say that all the Euro Hot Space Shows were recorded as well?

They wrote the songs. They performed the songs. The songs were recorded without permission. I think legally they are entitled to their intellectual property(the songs) and performance royalties. Since the recordings weren't authorized they can take it as their own.

Apparently the quality of concerts they are offering is average, so I've been told....
Surely a better way of "outdoing the bootleggers" would be to release proper cds and dvds?
For example - anyone here that has downloaded Hammersmith 1975 in FLAC is not going to want the official version...

The 192 kB/s version doesn't have the Rock'N'Roll Medley. For those who don't have it yet (I believe it's still up): http://www.queenzone.com/queenzone/forumnew/forum_topic_view.aspx?Q=686087

Omg, i understand that, but according to you, all bootlegs is official then. Because no bootlegs is recorded with permission unless they record it themselves.
I think this whole thing is stupid, why can`t they just release some of the goodies they have in the vault instead of doing this.

Don't the BBC own the rights to the 24-12-75 show?
QOL is doing something illegal, selling bootlegs recorded by fans. Things they should do instead is:
1. Sell the things lossless.
2. Sell the soundboard recording.
Then I should maybe buy it.

So this mean that we can't share anymore of these bootelgs?
That's a bit over the top.

Yes, it's illegal. But if they sell the cd, i'll buy it, not download mp3, it's the same that in here.

It seem's that Queen Production's attitude is, Why let the Bootleggers make money off these recording when they can make the money? Unfortunately, the ones downloading these concerts for free are getting hurt. Someone asked
why Queen Production should be allowed to make an official release out of a copy made by a fan. Well recording concerts is illegal.

Of course, but tell that to the security people checking your bags before the venue ;-).
As I can tell from the Queen concerts I have visited e.g. last year nobody was really "checked" for the camera, digicam or whatever. No security asked what the cam can do or took it away.
You saw huge informations in front of the entrances saying:
no cameras allowed
no video recording allowed
no audio recording allowed
...but no-one really cared.
And on the other hand people shall send in e.g. pics to QP, Q+PR, PR to be published on their websites to remember a great show.
I just think the whole problem starts right there.
On one hand you should take pics and send them in and actually it is forbidden and it is no difference with the audio/video recordings.
Due to different laws from country to country, I don`t think that any fan knows what`s definitely right or wrong.
