Only a minority of fans know about this forum and the online bootleg communities; everyone knows about ebay. And besides, if a newcomer made a thread requesting to trade, would anyone actually respond?

I'm not saying that I support the selling of bootlegs or that guy, I'm just trying to put things in perspective.

In this case it has nothing to do with perspective. Everybody knows the rules of ebay. It's forbidden to sell self-burned CDRs. Even this guy. And some of the concerts this guy offers were never released on labeled Bootlegs like "Yellow Dog" Swingin' Pig" and so on. Like MG told: He transfered the tapes (if that's the truth that he got this tapes from germany) to disc. And... he seems to know the bootleg scene. Every collector knows sits like daime, zomb, treder's den..... and I think that most of us here in the discussion collect boots. Wich guy is really trading tapes today?

However, it's good that he's banned and every fan should be warned about people like this spanish "mosquito".

Sunshine is 100% correct. It is against ePay policies, period.

And there may not be many people on the forum that will trade discs w/ people, but there ARE several. Homme, Groovy, Sunshine, and myself have all done it. And when I am not able to trade, I always direct people to torrent sites and help 'em out.

I actually told listen.to.vu about this site, so he may have read this thread already!!

There are some overly generous people on this site, like Groovymusic, who even takes the time to take screenshots for how-to guides. Newbies are always welcome here!
