UK kids are biggest pirates

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/UK kids are biggest pirates

ive always used percent perhaps like with other per words i see it as one and i just forget the space
i sometimes go for ever or forever ... mostly due to not knowing if its one word or two and if i dont hit the space bar i dont go back and fix it
hell i hardly use - in words that need them

on the topic though, they didnt ask that many children
what did they do stop a passing hoodie cos they looked more criminally inclined
"i dont download from the net, i rip from CD's"
"thats good its better that way"
*fails to tell them that the CD's were shoplifted ;)

went to their mybyte? site (sponsored by microsoft hah) after reading that their download page gets nigh on zero dl's
then clicked the interviews and stories

only read the battle of the bands story
last year i went to the cambridge rock festival (formally the rocking beer fest) 12x zoom camera in hand and was snap happy for most of the event with the aim of flikr-ing the shots and emailing the bands if they wanted copies of the original size for free (took way to many in the end over 2 or 3 2gb cards so STILL havnt found time to resize let alone post em all)

no one bothered me or any other camera weilder till thunder the headline of the final night (sunday) i was told if i took one more pic then he'd set security on me, which i found harsh considering (as ive already said) no one had bothered me for the rest of the weekend

on leaving i spotted 'flyer guy' whom i found out was head honcho and told him my plans with the pix
no cash in volved im doing it for fun and any extra pic for xyz band is another for their website, all i would ask is photo credit and the retention of my copyright, if they wanted to sell it as a giant poster and i saw nothing in return i wouldnt care as long as i was credited in some corner of the image

so i asked about getting 'official' photographer status or something similar for this years which i sadly had to miss out on so i could just show it with finger raised and carry on

but people do make a living selling 'bootleg' CD's and trading standards always seems to confiscate stock
thing is most CD's now are soundboard not tape deck mic in the air jobbies of old complete with the crowd out db-ing the stage due to proximity

so if the recording was made from the sound boards then the cd was leaked by
A> the band
B> the venue
C> the sound engineer
if it was a or b then surely that makes the CD ok to sell without it getting confiscated all the time as im sure their might be something in the T&C of the venue, yet they are treated like a CD-R or more genuine looking counterfiet
