No, the person who offered wasn't comfortable being identified as someone to seed a show, but wanted to help, and contacted a moderator to make it happen.
It's really no big deal... and it's people helping people, VERY MUCH the parrothead way!
Maybe she/he is an amatuer and doesn't want the embarrassment of an inferior product ?
Nah, wasn't comfortable because of the way it was obtained is the most likely scenario. Ashamed? possibly. Scheming to do it again? probably.
It is a big deal to the people who do the work to provide these jewels for us. There is a code of conduct, a code of honor among tapers. They respect each other's intellectual properties and each other's talents. To offer
their work to others for free is the parrothead way, even when the music has nothing to do with parrotheads. They do this out of a love of what they do and the joy they get from sharing their talents. Taking someone elses work and sharing it without their permission is wrong and unethical.
Of course, we'll soon know if it is just another raw taping or a good quality mixed and engineered recording, then the truth will come out. Someone who does a good job on their recordings is usually very proud to associate their name with it.
It's a shame this person won't come out of their closet amongst their own friends.
You've jumped to a lot of conclusions, and are inferring negative implications, for no good reason. Please refrain from pointing fingers and judging when you have absolutely no basis to make them on. You don't know ANYTHING about the person.
And the only thing I know about the person is that they offered a copy of the show, that many many BNers were seeking, and with 7lords generosity on top of it, we should all REJOICE!
I am more inclined to side with NB here....why not just come forward and say that they recorded it.
Maybe they just went and downloaded it from the ftp site of the
guy that used to seed most of the vines here. Spooners recordings
tend to be much better than most of the ones that are circulating.
It is too bad that he was banned here or there would be a lot
less begging for seeds.
I do applaud Wade for taking this on and being willing to take care of every one one the list
He is showing once again that he is
one of the nicest folks here.
It is unfortunate that more of the viners are not willing to
do even just a small bit more to keep these vines alive.
Way too many of the vines fail before they get very far along
because so many only care about it until they get their copy.
