I've just copied Roger's I wanna Testify and Turn on the TV onto my HD (excellent quality) and would post it as a torrent if anyone is interested, I just don't know how???
The Complete Rare Demo and Studio Live torrent features b-sides that fall into the same catagory as I Wanna Testify and Turn On The TV, meaning they are long deleted and cannot be properly purchased. I don't see a problem with this torrent, at least until the songs get a proper release.
I agree that it's hard to sympathize with record company/artist complaints about music downloading when the music in question is not "in print." I especially don't understand why bands don't make long out-of-print b-sides and 12" remixes available for download on official sites. But the fact remains that anything that's ever been officially released has at least one interested party (publisher, artist, label, etc.) who stands to lose future royalties if the material is unofficially distributed. My understanding is that the people running this site (Richard et al) would rather fly under the radar of those interested parties by only sharing unreleased material.

Is it video or audio? I would be interested in both.
Once richard is back and the tracker is up to full steam, contact me on icq# 12283117 and we will get this up and running for you.

Again, the Complete Rare Demo And Studio Live has the same type of material. It didn't matter then, and it probably won't matter now.
What they don't want to torrent is stuff like the Tribute Concert or Live at Brixton Academy. That would certainly cause trouble.
