Seems to me that the reasons bootlegging videos could be wrong are: 1. The band (or Jeepster probably) paid money to make them, and why should a business pay to make something, then have it distributed for free? Just like albums, that would be ridiculous. 2. The band makes their money back by getting paid by MTV & other stations for the right to play them. If everyone had them on bootleg, no one would need to watch MTV to get them, so MTV wouldn't buy them, so the band wouldn't get anything for them. 3. Videos are copyrighted (of course, just like a movie or TV show) and the law is the law. Might seem unfair to some, but this is a business as well as an art form. Oh well. On a happier note: I was wearing my Stow shirt (for the fifteenth time) and someone FINALLY commented on it; saying: "hey, you got that from the web site! My friend showed me that!" Finally a Close Encounter, even tho it was a boy (I was hoping it would be a girl -- why is it never a girl? Why am I girl-crazy in the first place? Hair lips breasts eyes -- I do love gurls gurls gurls...) The guy only knew B&S a little bit, but it was the first contact of that sort I've ever had. Americans are slowly waking up to the beauty, I guess. Anyone else having problems with Frank Yang's strange "Security Warning" posts? Is he Secret Police? Glad you like the puffy stickers, Queen Bee. Put them to a smutty use. I just KNEW the new ep would be orange. I swear I did! I almost proposed a contest to see who could guess what color it would be, and whether it would feature a boy or a girl. My guess was to be "Orange / Girl" altho I see I am wrong (that is a boy, isn't it)? But when I went to the Jeepster site yesterday and up popped the cover of Tigermilk with "Preorder the new B&S now" above it, my heart skipped half a beet [sic] as I thought that T'milk was finally released again. But new stuff is better. I can't wait. Why do people keep calling Honey a "mrs."? He's Paul, a boy, non? I've been here a while but am still rather confused re: gender. Patriarch or matriarch? Enquiring minds want to know. But regardless, please heed his/her/its wisdom-filled posts. Finally... what happened to the B&S tribute tape? I haven't forgotten and you haven't forgotten; let's forget together someday These days, I remain, Brier +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
