As someone who has shared his own recordings up on Dime only to see them end up for sale on e-bay a few weeks later, I know only too well the feeling of outrage that wells up inside of one. However, there is bugger all you can do about it so I agree, its best to chill out. Hopefully the bad Karma will get them in the end, whilst the sharing that we do will stand us in good stead. Who knows!

Anyway, what I need to know is, what is the connection between a gooner and arsenil? I don't believe in this new religion of football so could someone explain?

Cheers...Jimmy

Agreed, Bill.  It does rather stick in the 
craw to see someone profiteering from these labours of love, but I do hope this 
doesn't change anything that's done here for the right 
reasons.  It's a thrill to have found all these riches, 
and to share what I have in the company of people as equally affected by 
JP.

  Come on guys, let's chill on this.

This goes on all over, and 
  whether it is artists who have bootlegs made 
of their concerts ans sold (I 
  have bought many) or traders who release 
recordings into the public on 
  sites like Dimeadozen, only to find 
someone selling them on Ebay, or 
  Market traders sellinh Knock off Nigel 
DVD's, or the John Peel Yahoo group 
  having a whale of a time finding 
and archiving shows because of the thrill 
  of discovery and a love of 
the music and the philosophy of the man, only 
  to find them being sold 
on a website, we cannot let it affect our 
  behaviour.

Look at what has happened this year, and what a fantastic 
  library we 
are building, so that, I believe, even the BBC will use this 
  group and 
its WIKI as THE resource for Peel info and show 
  archives.

So a slow and painful death to the parasites who leach, but, 
  hey WE are 
doing this for all the right reasons, and we cannot let them 
  spoil our 
fun.

Look, I spent about a month on those 1978 FF50 tapes 
  to get them sound 
as best as they could, and what seems like millions of 
  hours trying to 
get bleedin' BASF cassettes from the 400 box to play, but 
  I did it for 
me, and to share with fellow enthusiasts.

Selling of 
  stuff made by others has always gone on and probably always 
will, and if 
  the corporate superpowers cannot stop it, then neither can 
we.

We 
  don't pay anyone for the music we listen to on the Peel shows, and 
Brian 
  is £500 better off for selling copyright material, so let's not 
get too 
  precious, AND PLEASE LET US NOT HAVE GOONER OR HIS KIND SPOIL 
OUR 
  FUN.

or....

What, an 
  Arsenal fan? Ignore all that, lynch the bastard.
