I think this archive thing will die fast if they don’t get enough subscriptions.
And I doubt they make a lot of money out of this, if any. Thousands of dollars have already been spent on storing these tapes for years, and no matter how they decide to spread stuff, it’ll cost them.
No, that’s not how it works. Just because someone made a copy of a show available for sale illegally, doesn’t mean it’s suddenly ok to spread it online.
But the Pumpkins recently announced that they have no problems with audience recordings being shared freely online. So for SP it’s ok.
On June 23, 2007 Frank Quinto, Smashing Pumpkins consultant, gave SP’s OK for inclusion in the Live Music Archive:
\"The Smashing Pumpkins live recordings can be uploaded to archive.org. The band is allowing archive.org to create mp3’s / streaming derivatives from taper’s lossless (.flac or .shn) seed files.
Live recordings only please. No Inner Ear Monitor (IEM) / Assisted Listening Device (ALD) sources. Shows recorded off of FM radio broadcasts / TV broadcasts are okay. no unauthorized SBD recordings. If you have a SBD recording you would like to upload, contact Frank at frank AT frankquinto DOT com first to get approval to upload it to archive.org. No profiting on any recordings. We reserve the right to take down any recording that does not fit this policy.
All Smashing Pumpkins live recordings are allowed to be uploaded to archive.org regardless of when the date of performance is (i.e. ALL shows are OK, not just the new 2007 performances.)
NOTE: official recordings from livesmashingpumpkins.com are not allowed on the LMA

([url:2tw0ajgz]http://www.archive.org/details/SmashingPumpkins[/url:2tw0ajgz])just because it’s a silver bootleg doesn’t mean it’s better quality. very often, the makers of these bootlegs don’t care about quality. all they want to do is make money. a lot of these bootleg cds sound worse than what is available for free online. (note that not all online bootlegs are sourced from these kind of cds!)
and in 99% of the cases the artwork is awful too.
in short, i’m not spending one cent on those.

Is it correct to call this an acetate? Doesn’t acetate mean CD-R? Because this looks like a silver cd.Also, I believe this must be a master for the Australian release. The matrix code says D.A.T.A., and I’ve only seen that on (a lot of) Australian cds. (Normally the other side of the cd also contains a DATA logo.)
well, ok then. enjoy the promo. it’s very nice, and you got a good price.
i guess i actually do feel better now.
Billy is sad that you hate him.

i believe that’s not billy’s sad of pissed off face, by the way. it’s his solo face.i don’t even want that promo. (i already have it.) but i’m so tired of this.
and your explanation is ridiculous. \"oh, it once happened to me, so it’s ok to do this to others.\" way to go. very ethical.
whatever. it’s against the rules of ebay to make offers to buy an item outside of ebay. if they found out, they could ban you.
\"it’s happened to me too.\" boo fucking hoo.
yeah, sure, why not steal away a nice rarity like that in front of all the other interested people. this auction already had bidders, even.
what’s the deal with ebay sellers cancelling bids and selling their items outside of ebay? i’m getting fucking tired of that.
how much did you buy that daphne descends promo for? we DO want to know, trust me.
I have signatures disabled on smashingpumpkins.com. I don’t add one to my posts, and I don’t see anyone else’s. I think they clutter up threads.
I wish the forum on SPfreaks.com would also have this option, but I already asked for it, and it’s not possible right now.
Isn’t music, in itself, spiritual? Most of the praises and prayers to gods are sung.[/quote:3ldlnmdk]
That’s twisted logic. If most of the praises and prayers are sung, one could maybe conclude that praises and prayers are musical, but not that music is spiritual.You’re welcome.
I just said exactly the same thing as manilla, but I guess my explanation was more idiot-proof.
