joshuatxuk Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck this thread So Old Tunes Vol 2 is at £310, £55 more than Vol 1 yet with fewer bids overall. Is it the cover art? The longer running time? Maybe 2 is a more appealing number? Let's discuss that. Eh? Maybe? Please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means that people here are trying to seek personal approval from the sellers by going along with making a big joke out of it, the same thing they accuse anyone defending BoC of doing on the other side. Of course in this case, having the seller's metaphorical dick in their mouth, they can actually get that approval in the tangible form of a forum post, as opposed to the radio silence that would greet any "white knighting" on BoC's behalf.

Joyrex Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I'm not going to even attempt to reply to some of the ill-informed, idiotic, and just plain WRONG statements and assumptions in this epic clusterfuck of a thread, so here it is in simple, easy to read form: 1) While it is technically not illegal to sell the tapes, the ethics of doing so, and moreso the timing, is what's at issue here. 2) These tapes (and the unreleased music contained within) were never meant to change hands or become public - by breaking that trust and selling them, there is the almost-certain potential that whomever ends up with these will capitalize on the fact these are first-generation tapes and will certainly rip these and distribute them online, thus depriving Boards of any potential sales or control how their art is presented. This is why Boards has in past fought the sale of these tapes, over and above any emotional investment they had in the people they entrusted their unreleased material with. 3) Quick copyright 101: you retain an informal copyright the moment you create something. It does not matter if those works are released for sale or exhibition or not, no one but the copyright holder has the right to the works. 4) Because of who is selling these items, it sets a precedent for not only others to follow suit. What incentive does Boards have to release these tracks now that poor quality copies are all over online, and not almost certainly higher quality ones will surface? 5) I think Boards should quickly announce digital versions, sourced and mastered from the originals, of select tracks from these compilations for sale soon - thus taking the wind out of the opportunists' sails and end this farce. Then, the fans get what they want, Boards gets compensation for their hard work and art, and any future individuals considering this won't bother. Think I'm wrong? What about Twoism? They finally officially released it so everyone could afford to own it, and as Boards intended it to be presented. Now, any copies of the original are valuable only to collectors who want the original and aren't bothering with ripping it illegally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpyLoo Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 3) Quick copyright 101: you retain an informal copyright the moment you create something. It does not matter if those works are released for sale or exhibition or not, no one but the copyright holder has the right to the works. Your view of copyright would preclude anyone from selling anything ever. It makes no sense, Joyrex. There is no violation of copyright in simply selling a tape with copyrighted material on it. At heart copyright pertains to the "right to copy" and it does not apply to this sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertsk8er419 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 hoody, maybe my morals are set up differently than yours. i simply trust their judgement in selling a few old tapes and records on ebay; that's all they are... old tapes and records filled with old tunes. they were given them and they are theirs, they can do whatever they want with them. and people trying to give them a guilt trip for doing what they want with what's theirs, ashamed me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tauhid Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 What incentive does Boards have to release these tracks now that poor quality copies are all over online, and not almost certainly higher quality ones will surface? I mean, I would assume the incentive on releasing these tracks would be to please fans and make money? No one really wants shit quality rips. I certainly don't, and that's why I don't have them. People are settling. Boards have had all the time in the world to re-release these cassettes in some form or another. They've yet to do it, and again, probably won't.
