This thread was not created for the purpose of pirating readily available material. Rather, it is about sharing rare, out-of-print, limited editions or other hard to find items.
This entire BBS forum is hosted, operated and paid for at the expense of the Electrical Audio studio, and to bring any trouble--legal or otherwise--down upon EA for copyright infringement or piracy would be an unfair abuse of our privileges using this service.
I don't mean to sound condescending or anything. Just wanted to state it as explicitly as possible.
I'm sure Tuolumne is already aware of this.
Yes! I am in fact aware of all of these facts. And I don't mind the brusque reply from the Colonel. Whatever, it's just the interweb. Everyone seems to have a different opinion about what to post and what not to post here, and there seem to be some gray areas, as evidenced by the Comets on Fire post above and countless others in this thread.
Colonel actually brings up an interesting topic about not posting "popular commercial releases". How exactly would that term be defined? Sabbath fits into that category, but perhaps Comets on Fire does as well (I have no idea how popular they might be - maybe they're huge in Santa Cruz, who knows). Both are commercially available. Where is the line drawn?
