If your band is on here and you don't want me selling your live stuff let me know and I'll switch your stuff to trade only. Here are some facts:
-I do actually have the permission of a lot of the bands that are on here (Electric Frankenstein and J Church, to name a couple).When video taping bands I attempt to ask permission and that is why the majority of my videos are shot from on stage or in front of the stage.
-If any of the stuff on my lists does become available legitimately, I remove it immediately from my lists.
-I am primarily a fan and collector. If your band's stuff is available on my site, it means that I like your band.
-If you want copies of the stuff let me know and I'll send it to you.
-I also sell authorized releases. If I like your bands enough to sell live stuff by it then I usually attempt to make your authorized releases available through my site for sale.
-People that buy bootlegs are generally fans who have already gone out and bought all authorized releases by the band and therefore you are not losing revenue as a result of me selling live stuff. Think about it, would you actually bother mail ordering a live video tape of a band that you didn't like enough to have already purchased their albums?
-I also sell compilation video tapes that features numerous bands. These videos provide free promotion for your band. It's basically the same idea as radio and music video shows. These videos provide free exposure for your band and as result help to increase your number of fans.
-I am very strict in my grading, therefore customers are aware of the quality and are not disappointed when they receive their order. When trading I am very picky and that is why the majority of my collection is in the "A" quality rating system.
-10% of the money that I get (not profits, but all money) goes to charity organizations that I believe are doing something to improve our society. The majority of these organizations are ones that I volunteer my time to also, so I know that the money is being put to good use. If there is a particular organization that you feel is deserving of financial assistance let me know and I'll direct money towards it.
For bands who want to be featured on my site:
-Feel free to send me live stuff and I'll add it to my lists. But be warned! If I think it's crap then I'll make sure my customers are aware of this. I don't like selling people stuff that I would not buy myself.
-If your band is playing anywhere in the Vancouver, BC or Washington State areas let me know and I'll video tape you. I also just got a CD recorder and I've been dying to try recording off of the soundboard with it.
