Not really bothered (not losing any sleep tonight), just thought it was shady and wanted to see what others thought about it. Kind of funny and ironic that a band and SOME of those who promote and support it have such conservative views on this subject when the bands politcal and social statements tend to lean the other way.
i'm still not following you. and i'm not trying to break your balls, especially since you really do seem to feel strongly and honestly seem to be trying to express something.
i don't understand how the 10C yanking a video from youtube equates to the band or its representatives not supporting your right to free thinking or free speech.Give way to nature ...0 -
Well for one thing some anti-bootlegging bands don't even take down crappy fan videos from youtube. They must really not want any bootlegging of any kind for whatever reason.I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

and
then makes it clear that on the EV shows, taping, recording, or snapping isn't allowed. Shouldn't we respect EV and 10c and honor their request?
I'm a bit surprised to read posts elsewhere that the band is 'selling out' (are you kidding?) and that times must be a-changin'. Ridiculous.
Dudes... abide.
This is IMO the greatest band and frontman in the history of rock, and they have given more to their fans than any band in history.
Eddie ties the world together.
Respect the man by not pissing on his rug, taping it, and putting it out on the Tube man...

Peace Love & Pearl Jam forever!!0 -
my guess is that they are getting more aggressive about the tube to discourage people from recording in the first place.
If you cant post it, you might not bother recording it
I guess.
Of course, there is always the theory that its being recorded for a DVD and thats when we wil get to see it.
They have always been pretty cool about posting vids, but I guess the phones are now such a nusiance that they have to hit from both ends.0 -

Thanks, and agreed... after a lot of ins, outs, and what-have-you's... it does feel like a continuous bonus round, doesn't it?
(Let's turn this thread into some fun..... 50 bonus 10C points for first person to come up with the movie I'm referencing in this post and earlier posts on this thread!!)0 -
Tone wrote:I can understand why someone wouldn't want pics taken and being recorded without their consent. Ed's music is his art and his image (self) is his own. Don't you ever try and weasle out of a photo someone's trying to take cause you don't feel like having your pic taken? Imagine that multiplied exponentially. It would drive me absolutely bonkers. ....
With that still in mind, when I kinda met Ed last year outside the Body of War premiere, I didn't take his pic because I didn't get into a position to be able to ask him if he would mind. People were snapping but I just won't take someone's picture unless they've told me I can. Just as when I met Jeff and Mike in '95, there were a bunch of fans and no-one took a pic until they gave their permission. Jeff said yes and Mike said no, everyone respected that. I wouldn't walk up to a random stranger and take their pic without asking, so why would I react differently to PJ?
Great post here. To this point perhaps of respecting the request to not tape/photo.... it seems that whenever you hear of fans encounters with EV after a show (i.e read the fanviews) his walking guards seem to have been fairly consistent about 'no photos'.... and it's great that the fans seem to comply, and EV sits there and signs autos, etc. It keeps the true fans separate and distinct from the pappa-nazi.0 -
Its not a matter of loyalty to the 10c/PJ. For some reason, they want to protect their copywritten property.
Anyone who has been generous in the past has the full perogative to pull back when they so desire.
