Sorry I have to agree...... trading DVDs and downloading someone elses pics and selling them on ebay are two completely different things. You know if you share something you record that it is going to get traded all over..... that is pretty much a given anymore. I made a CD a long time ago of stuff I downloaded and shared it with a couple of people--and low and behold I start seeing it on peoples trading lists
Sorry I just found that amusing considering I just downloaded the stuff but whatever. And I would say the definition of a hardcore fan varies because I consider myself a pretty big fan--have loved Stevie since around '78 or '79 when I was still in grade school.....(telling my age) but I honestly don't own very many DVDs--I am all about photos and would much rather buy those than DVDs...... just my personal preference and I don't think it makes me any less of a fan. I love taking photos at concerts and I thought it was great fun to share them here for others to see--I didn't want my photos all over ebay though and followed suit of many others and watermarked them..... and then I got the snide comments about it. So like I said before...... if no one appreciates seeing them even though they have watermarks then I will just quit posting them. And that again is exactly why I didn't post mine here to begin with this time. I don't know about other venues but the rule of thumb here is that you risk getting your butt thrown out or your camera taken or your batteries taken, etc for taking pics. For some reason this last show Stevie allowed cameras so all was good--but anyways I guess that is kind of getting off the subject. I guess my point is if I am risking my butt to take photos for my enjoyment and to share here then it is my choice of whether to watermark them or not and don't expect to get ridiculed for doing so......... an innocent generous act has gotten to the point of being frowned upon--why??? I guess I am a little lost as to how this has all come about....... everyone seems to want something for nothing these days.... some people act like we owe it to them to post pics if we take any...... okay this is getting entirely too long and I'm sure I am going to get slammed so I will just end it here....... there are obviously very different opinions on the whole thing......
