Pim Derks wrote: I wonder what Freddie would think of Jim.... To me Freddie always seemed like someone who wanted as little as possible of his private life known.... Besides, who gives a f*ck about 20 seconds of a fat kid with an almost dead dude hiding behind him.

YourValentine wrote: I do think that posting these videos shows zero respect for Freddie's privacy. I think it's disgraceful to publish private video footage that was obtained because the people in question trusted the guy who filmed it. It's a breach of trust for anyone, nor only a so called "celebrity".

Pim Derks wrote: "I'm sure Freddie's reputation is ruined, as he has been seen cavorting with a little boy. Jim will burn in hell for this ... or maybe Pim is overreacting." How would you like it if someone you loved decided to share private video-material of you in private situations ?

Pim compares the video to a blow job. YV deletes her message after the link was deleted. It almost appears that TRS was bullied into deleting the link, but no explanation is available. It would have been nice if the thread could have remained unedited so that perhaps some explanation for the deleted link would be available.

I reposted my original message and I don't see any "bullying" here only because I dare to have an opinion. You are really overdramatising the situation. People have different views and for me there is a huge difference between this video of a baby and the Montserrat Caballe tape - which is of interest for Queen fans and collectors. I also think that the previously posted snippets of the IGSM outtakes are of interest for fans and collectors, I just would prefer if Stefan would not post these 20 sec bits. I think that is not sharing, it's bragging.

His close friends and lovers told all about the most personal aspects of Freddie's life in that one. It showed the part of Freddie's life that he worked very hard to keep private. Yet there it was, available for all of us to save to our hard drives. Do you think he wanted us to see him singing in a bubble bath? Or to hear details about his past lovers? Peter Freestone was part of that for heavens sake. As was Jim. "His cock was huge," Peter said at one point. "Yes, he was a good lover," Jim said with a snicker at another. I don't recall any complaints about that. Yes, this is a private home video. But when you compare the two for privacy infringement, how can anyone justify blasting the sharing of this one over the other?

frank39 wrote: TSR. You are a true "Freddie Mercury Paparrazzi", not only these disgusting 20 sec snippets lately, now that! This is just another way of presenting yourself, as the famous guy with those SO PRIVATE videos,recieved from the inner circle of Freddie closest friends. I wonder what kind of devil rode Peter, or who ever gave you this meterial. What would you say, if someone publishes YOUR very personal footage? Its a pitty that Freddie can´t kick you in your a.. no more for doing this.He surely would.

frank39 wrote: Concerning the snippets: that day, I was thinking, you are going to upload the whole video in snippets, the WHOLE video from GL! When I realized, you were about to post only these 3 little 20 sec. teasers, the whole thing was over for me. Concerning my money offer: what I know from the GL tapes, they also contain 4,5 music tracks, with Freddie on piano ( improvising some tunes, nice title among it: " F... off and die you fag" ... and others. Thats what I am and was interested in. Audio version of it is widely spread on the net. Therefore my money offer. The Japanese Garden footage and others was never my interest. I would never be interested in wathing an HIV infected person, hiding behind a little child, knowing that his life will soon be over, in fact just 1 more year. As I said. thats Paparrazzi like.
