A new market for Charlie?

Paul, you actually defend bootlegging and pirating in the
archives...why the recent flip-flopping ??

Here's your post to someone asking about DTS disks, with your reply at
bottom:

Actually, Charlie, I was poking fun at an idiot. Which is
unfortunately all I ever do on this NG these days.

and below, yet another tidbit from the archives, showing how Paul
"walking small" Evans actually LIKES the idea of making copies and
selling them...heck, it's a common thing in a "big music oriented
town" like he lives in...ain't that right "Pawl" ??

Even the guy who paid $1750 for the Muntz Zappa Capitol "Lumpy Gravy"
4-track (acknowledged by FZ himself as probably the rarest item from
his
whole career) a few months back could easily burn it onto CD's and
make
his money back in a month selling it to Zappa completionists. ****, in
a
big music-oriented town like NYC, SF, Austin, you name it, the guy
could
probably make the money back in an hour hawking 'em off a random
street
corner.

Yeah, but Paul didn't say he was misrepresenting the copies.
Zappa completionists wouldn't care, after all he did say a "burned CD", not
copied 8tracks with a counterfeit cover.
I don't understand why it would be better than the CD version of Lumpy Gravy,
unless it was never released, which I doubt, and as far as getting a master dub
you'd want to get it from a reel to reel.

...didn't say he was misrepresenting the copies.

That's what it's all about, isn't it? Someone who has admitted to previous
fraud perpetrating more fraud. If the auctions had said something like: dubbed
copy altered from stereo source (or SACD or whatever it was) with self-made
artwork, there never would have been an eyebrow raised. later, ron

shrug, maybe he'll start stating the auctions that way.

That doesn't matter- burning music onto CD's and selling them on the
street is the highest form of MUSIC PIRACY, and you get jail time and
huge fines for it. CD is the modern format and every pirated CD sold
cuts directly into music company profits and creates monetary LOSSES
not to mention COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.

What about that ??

If you support that, then anything goes.

I would readily pay a large amount of money for a dub of that Zappa
recording. Zappa himself described it as the rarest Zappa item or
recording in existence. It has never been released. Only a handful of
copies are known to exist. It is a completely different version from
the "Lumpy Gravy" that got released.

Not that an idiot like yourself could ever begin to comprehend the
difference between that and your amateur attempts to wholesale rip
dumbasses off.

Who are you, a GEN X digital dickweed turned-tracker, to pass
judgement on people who grew up with 8-tracks in the 1970's, while you
were swimming around in your old man's balls ??
