I agree with john s stuart on this topic i think anyone who posts official material should be banned immediately as then the number of posts promoting youtube or any other site will be not be blamed or threaten closure of queenzone.
In fact go a step further and i ask the moderator or others in authority delete all topics featuring you tube clips and if we want to access those videos then we can subscribe through proper means.
I don't want this site to close and i don't see why a minority should spoil it 4 the rest of us.
Amen.

This is nonsense....
What is the difference? If people want to watch these "officially released" videos, they are gonna go to Youtube anyway.
Blather for the sake of blather, as far as I am concerned.

I agre also with John S - But isnt it all Real Fans/ Moral Fans duty to learn the new/young/queenfans how to act with sharing Queen stuff here on QZ ? We knew this going to happen right before the Q+PR Tour !? You all know that feeling when you explore the Queen Cat. These days its easier to find an album on the net than in the store sadly ! Well i know lots of REAL fans post a link to a CD or DVD when ppl ask for something, Thats good ! I think its time for all who agree with John S to take a step forward and learn how Real Fans Act.

I'm with you. And I've seen sites close in other fandoms over this sort of thing.

I agree John.
Twelve years ago, it was legal to sell bootlegs. A search for "bootleg" on RIAA.com indicates that the RIAA is only enforcing against SALES of bootlegs. They are going after the money: either sales of bootlegs, or illegal distribution of COPYRIGHTED product.
It is my view that QZ limits its legal risk by attempting to restrict downloads to bootleg material that has NEVER been released (and hence NOT copyrighted).
Whether one agrees with QZ rules is immaterial. One should abide by the rules of the host (Queenzone).

I must admit I had not thought about the youtube issue, but the way things are around here if the numpties and in particular people like TRS Romania do not stop this we will be sayiong goodbye to Queenzone forever, I urge anyone reading this to do whatever you can to stop people uploading official stuff.
When did TRS upload official stuff?
He just posted over in the John Deacon playing drums thread links to a number of videos, purely (it would seem) to court controversy
As usual John, I agree with you completely.
Although still a relative newcomer to QZ (been here for about 18 months or so now), the change even in that time has been incredible and disturbing.
Back when I joined, the personal forum was full of the same random stuff it is now (as well as some guy's rants about his anus!), the discussion forum was full of just that, interesting and informative discussion, and the sharing the music forum was chocablock with genuinely exciting live shows, demos and old tv shows - for an eager amateur like myself, it was heaven.
However, now the discussion forum is full of 14 year olds saying what they'd like a grumpy old guitarist who's old enough to be their grandad to do to them, and the sharing board seems to have more links to youtube than anything else!
I don't know if this is something that will only change if the whole stucture of QZ is changed. I hope not, as it (generally) used to work beautifully. Maybe a post in one of the other threads is right, maybe all of this will change in september when school starts again. Who knows.
All I know for sure is that I hope sincerely that at some point in the very near future, the lazy, grabbing attitude of many of the people in this community will change and we can get back to the business at hand.
Christ, that's a bit deep for me at this time on a thursday afternoon - I just really wanted to get it out before I leave work (as I still can't access the website from home!)
