If you consider that I suggested that this AMIT forum be used as a means to "trade" dubs of these USB sticks, then I have expressed myself badly. But you folk know one another. It is not beyond your wit to organise something.
The bootleggers will doubtless make some nice CDs of these MK shows and sell them at a huge profit. There may well be people on this forum who would buy these bootleg CDs and they may even be the same people who seem to baulk at the idea of sharing dubs of the USB sticks, I don't know. If your conscience prevents you, if you have scruples of some kind or if something else troubles you about it, that is absolutely fine. Don't do it. Nobody will criticise you. It's just that I think the unit cost is high anyway and that the cost multiplied by however many shows you want to get is out of this world. I merely pointed out that there is solution to this.
and, by the way, bootlegging is not something in which I have ever been involved. In terms of the extracting of that Mr Bob item I mentioned, it was entirely legal and above-board. What I had tracked down was owned by a company that had the legal right to sell copies. The unusual element was that it would normally have been sold to another company rather than a private individual. That's shorthand for saying that "big bucks" were involved. Hence the need to spread the cost. For that, the company provided three copies from their archive - one for me and one each for the two people who raised the money. When it first came, it had a slight technical fault. I complained and requested three replacement copies without the fault - and got them. This was an entirely commercial transaction. Nothing underhand at all.
