I received this email today. I did leave off any names, that is publicly.
This person doesn't seem to think that this is stealing. After I replied to his email, and said it was stealing, he got all mad. So, if you would please read it and let him know that it's not OK to do this. Quote:

It is a no brainer. And I cannot understand how he could not see it being wrong.
You're right on the other point too, he cannt spell your name. Tony |

I'd say that it does qualify him for a scumbag award and I would have no problem saying that to his face! I hate thieves!

That's awful.
How can he think that could be vaguely acceptable? |

Hotter than the hubs of hades but not quite the century mark yet. It's expected tomorrow or Sat. My house A/C kicked on twice today and I could feel the pull on my wallet!
Sorry Randi, didn't mean to hijack your topic my dear. The guy is still a scumbag! |

It's not stealing, but it is wrong. A person with morals would contact the company and tell them. Or if you are going to use the finders keepers rule, then keep your mouth shut and don't try to make a trade. That's reselling something you got for free. It's a good thing you revealed this slime.

Yo pun a phrase; I agree you are magically correct and he is magically corrupt.

The guy is shady. I don't see how a person can trust someone so dishonest to engage in a dishonest endeavor. Hmm.

Sorry, this fellow would not win the Grand Prize of Scumbag lurking on the MC - I'd nominate someone else (guess who???)... but I agree he is in the dark zone.
Feel free to post his diatribe attack at you sans his name... that would be fun!

Yea its not a good thing....but its not nearly as bad as the guy who has JUST one copied DVD! they made a mistake and sent him too much stuff....who ever shipped it caused the issue and its his fault also BUT the guy should have simply returned it.....he didn't
the music industry is changing quickly.....the record stores are all going out of businees because people feel entitled to download music for free...instead of buying just what they want they take what the hardly ever use....seems to me this is a much bigger issue artists not getting paid for their work is a really bad thing and the record companysgoing under because of the blatant theft of music is horrible now I would bet that almost everyone that posts here has at least one bootlegged magic dvd ...just one I was at a convention this past weekend and this conversation came up and I asked a guy" do you have any bootlegged dvd's" and he replied "well I have a few but I don't use any of the material off them so its ok" ITS NOT OK I'm the second largest producer of magic DVD's in the world and I can tell you I'm not rich....its a struggle to keep going but I do because I choose this, knowing that a large percentage of magicians would simply just take my work and the artists work and that I would just be producing products for guys who loved magic and cared about where the material came from and the integrety of the art.... listen, theres simply NO escuse for stealing this material NONE! but ti goes on and on and on...and those who are doing should be ashamed kozmo |

I don't own any bootleg DVDs. Do I get a gold star?

On the bootleg DVDs, I've unknowingly purchased a few. I've reported the sellers where I purchased from, and did go out and buy originals from reputable sources. It helps me sleep at night.
I can relay one funny story. I purchased a copy of one of Jim Pace's DVDs from an auction site. When it arrived, it was purple, so I contacted Jim personally to report this. He emailed me back, he was the seller and was producing them himself. This is a small industry, and having been around it for most of my life, I personally know the people either producing the DVDs (or other products) and those who star in them, and if I have not met them face to face, I have spoken to them in one way or another. Now I am far from rich, or even comfortable, but I believe in supporting those who have done the work, and paying my own way. |
