Don't know if this has been addressed, but can you put stuff up that was released but is no longer being produced, like the Starfleet album? If so that would be awesome I lost mine. If not that's cool, just wondering.

Starfleet was re-released on Japanese "Ressurection" single...

But even something like this, not many people have it and it's no longer made (I would think). It's not like putting "We Will Rock You" up here. They really aren't making money off this single anymore, you know what I mean?

Star Fleet was rereleased on two seperate EU Back To The Light singles! ;-)
Thanks · Member since
It's not a question of whether they're still making money from it.
It's a question of owning the rights to it, which they still do, and theefore the answer is "no"

..and yes, it has been addressed a few times.

Grrr, Jeroen, you quoted me and now I can't edit my reply and add the EU singles... There's only one way to solve this problem - push the wrong button! :)

That's a reasonable answer, but then how come if it hasn't been officially released, say like a Miracle demo, so noone "officially" owns the rights then? That can't be cause then wouldn't someone here just take it and sell it, who could stop them then? So why wouldn't they care if you throw up a whole possible future box set, but go nuts if you put up something from A Night at the Opera? I'm not looking to be annoying, just starting a conversation.
Oops, someboay pushed a wrong button!

That's a completely different question, but the composers and performers still have rights, even if they haven't released the material.

Relax dude, I only asked a question you don't have to look to fight I'm not asking anyone to put anything up that they shouldn't nor am I putting anything up.

It's an unwritten thing basically, unless your name is Saul Zaentz there's a tiny bit of leeway with 'unofficial material'. As soon as they notice people making money off of a bootleg, all of a sudden things get very heavy.
It's the only reason Live AID is on DVD anyway, because Bob Geldof saw money getting thrown away on shitty copies when it could go to charity.
To answer your question - there really isn't any difference between what the call 'official stuff' and the rest that gets uploaded here. It allllll belongs to someone else, and I reckon they'd probably have the ability to crack down and take it all away - they just don't.
