Sinister: bummed out

[Riddley13 at xxx.com]

hello my fellow sinisterines,

A while back I made tapes of the NYC shows from Nov of '98 for a whole bunch 
of you.   They were great concerts and I wanted to share them with people on 
the list who did not get to go see them.  It has recently come to my 
attention that someone has made a CD bootleg from my recording and is selling 
it at one store in NYC.  I have not heard about it being anywhere else yet 
(have you seen the double CD set?). 
I am a bit perturbed that someone is trying to make a buck off of something 
that was given away for free.  (in truth I did ask for return postage and 
blank tapes to make the copies .. I did not want to take a loss on making 
these tapes just break even)  I did  not record the shows to make a profit.  
My offer to make the tapes was a way of giving something back to the list 
which has given me new friends and lots of enjoyment since I joined.  To 
think that the culprit may be a listee or worse yet a friend who I made tapes 
for,  really bums me out.   If you are out there listening, shame on you.  

What really sucks about this is that I was about to post another offer to 
make tapes of the Bowlie show.  Due to this event I am now not inclined to do 
so, for fear that the same thing will happen again.  

Now I realize that I am to blame for this happening.  I made the recordings 
to begin with.  I just want you all to know that I did not make these CDs. I 
am not interested in trying to make a buck off of the band that I love and  
who has brought me so much pleasure.   There's nothing wrong with making a 
buck.  I am just bummed that someone has turned a free offer of something 
good into a money making scheme.  That's not why I made the tapes, that's not 
why I gave them to people on the list. 

John
