[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]Mr. Scully wrote: [/QUOTENAME]Bob, who are the "European collectors" who place restrictions on the records? I'd be curious to know. For example if we speak about my Queen live recordings, the only restrictions (I can think of) were set by Mariano Bryner (Drammen + Offenbach I think) and a Japanese collector (Yamaguchi). That's 1x South America and 1x Asia ;-) There may be more "restricted" recordings in my collection (I don't remember - I don't really trade anymore these days) but I don't think any of those restrictions were set by a European trader.
(Of course, those various WWRY afterparties and other special events are unfortunately a different issue).
Also, I think it's definitely not true that the US tapers don't share because of the MP3 community. If they post torrents on Dime, it's because they're not aware of QueenZone. For example I have recorded Deep Purple in Prague. I just gave the recording to some Czech DP fans and didn't really care about it but if I wanted to post it online myself, I wouldn't bother to search for a DP website, I would post on Dime too (and I wouldn't give a damn if anybody converts it to MP3 or not).[/QUOTE]
Kurna chlape to si nemohol dat DP aj mne ? :))
But not everybody is the careless type, many people do care what happens with "their" recordings. I'm one of them

Six pages to discuss about people who likes more FLAC than MP3 ? O.o
It's seems that some collectors need a girlfriend...

Fact: a forum is made for discussions.
Strange, isn't it?
BTW, Bob, I'm with you on this one (referring to the Gym Bitch topic)

It's naive to think that a ban on mp3 or some sort of moderation on preservation of quality would mean an end to the 'hoarding' of uncirculated material.
(And that goes for collectors/tapers from ALL continents concerned with all kinds of bands!)
Some 'general tapers' are concerned with the issues of keeping their recordings lossless, yes. But te 'hoarding' by collectors/tapers that are mostly 'into' one band in particular, has totally different reasons. Those recordings would not be shared even if it were multi-dimensional-5.1-DTS-surround-3D-iMaxc-High Definition blablabla.
Not in here, not on Dime, not on TTD, not even in your mailbox!

About 2 years ago, at a well-known bootleg website, I uploaded files that were FLAC format, reencoded from lossy files. Unfortunately that happened twice in one month, so I was banned. Guess where I had those files from ...
I was too lazy to check before uploading, you might say that's my fault, but anyway, since then I'm aware of that issue. MP3 is fine, but unfortunately some people are either too dumb or too careless to deal with it properly.

There are plenty of them. You are able to mention Mariano since he is "retired", but you of all people know that naming names of active collectors just isn't done publically, or even privately, in most cases. I wish it could be otherwise, but since other people play the game, unfortunately I have to do the same.

Well, I know for a fact that it's true.

And you're perfectly entitled to hold that opinion. But there are plenty of people who do care. I know of three recordings from the 70s that will never be shared because of this website (one of them is purely based on the Dallas 78 mp3 share).

I never said it would put an end to hoarding. But as I've said countless times before, the fact that this website has no quality standards is the reason why many recordings are still under wraps, and probably always will be.

====================================
'Some', yes, but definately not 'many'.
Like *I* have said countless times before, the vast majority is still in wraps (and unknown to even the most active collectors/traders) for totally different reasons.

I'd be glad to have just ONE more Queen show from the 70s. I'd even deny the existence of the MP3 format to achieve this.
