Again, RTSR has no relevance here. This isn't RTSR.
Obviously it's nice that you're not trying to prevent anyone from doing what they want outside of dirty, but it rather misses the point. It's discussion that's been banned.
Bullshit, for a number of reasons. Firstly, this has always been a place where rare Underworld releases have been shared to people unable to get hold of them otherwise (unless you're encouraging eBay profiteering, which I'm sure you're not, are you?). Secondly, if Underworld or any band fuck around with different releases in different countries, you're damned straight that this is a place where that inequality should be levelled up. If I buy an album, I expect to get the full album, not half an album.
Again, you miss the point. If you can't or won't share, that's fine; but who are you to stop those that want to? Generally there are plenty of people willing and able to share the wealth, but are now being told that they can't do that.
I still find it bizarre that everyone should be coming over all virtuous-like, whilst dirty.org is happily distributing music illegally through dirty radio... talk about hypocrisy!
Others have already covered this. If you know something, say it, if you don't, shut up. If nothing else, if there's a chance that the show will be released through underworldlive, why not just say so and so prevent some poor sod blowing £50 via eBay on the CD, thereby also injecting a hint of reality into the prices being charged. It's just common sense that everyone here should be old and ugly enough to understand. This entire thread would've been killed stone dead if someone, I don't care who, had said 'Underworld are investigating providing the live show via Underworldlive - be patient for a few weeks or two and we'll know more'.

Either you can't read what has been said over and over in this thread and not just by me, or you don't want to.
Or you can read but can't understand what you are reading.
Or you can understand what you are reading but want a fight anyway.
You said people were trying to ban the sharing. So I and others pointed out (and if you had read back through the whole thread you would have picked up immediately) that no-one was banning this being shared.
Oh dear - proved wrong. So you move the goalposts again and say "ah, but this is no different than Bootleg Babies or any other bootlegs" and take a pop at Eike in the process. So it is explained that it is, in fact, not a bootleg, it is a commercial product.
Oh dear - wrong again. So you move the goalposts again and say "ah, but you are trying to ban discussion".
Nobody has banned discussion. Jesus, this thread wouldn't be here anymore if they had. Nobody has banned anything except PUTTING UP LINKS ON HERE TO SHARE COMMERCIAL UNDERWORLD MATERIAL. Which has, I think you will find, always been the case.
Nobody knows anything you don't, dear, unless it is Scott or Yannick, and they are certainly not sharing their secrets with l'il ole me if they do. I dunno where all this conspiracy theory is coming from.
Whatever. I'm wasting my breath arguing with you. You've had your fun now Simon. Go pick a fight somewhere where you are going to win without moving the goalposts of your argument every five minutes.
