Miro Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 i tried to buy it on ebay before you mentioned it here but it said smthng like"it's not available for you":blink:it didn't even say "not available for your country" but "you"... i don't understand what's wrong with me,i don't have a clue no it's legal! (appearently not for me though:naughty: ) Yeah I realized it is after I wrote my post Edit: So I understand that the main issue here is it's being on ebay before the MFC as Freddie noted?

RAK1 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I don't understand the whole thing I guess, but I would absolutely point out that I think Blue Eyes did the right thing by posting about the DVD in here. I'm interested in any news and was happy to hear about it.Things are always leaking out, all the time, it's just the way it is with internet nowadays, no big deal imo! She did what a true fan and member of a fan club should do, share it with her fellow members, and if there is anybody who doesn’t want to know, please just don’t read the thread. We are not unique, in the Lord of the Rings club for example they share new, and leaked, things all the time, but they do put a spoiler notice on it, well, maybe something to think about for the future? So I guess that makes me not so much a fan for NOT wanting to know what's on it 'til it comes out then? I don't agree with ebay for selling promos, just as I don't agree with them for selling tickets for events that are meant to be free(the R1 Big Weekend events) or festival tickets where you need id to verify its your ticket. Sorry if people don't get why I feel so strongly about this. But I m just not happy that certain people get to see the dvd before everyone one else. Sometimes the internet can be a curse.

Miro Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 So what's Mika's role in these kinda situations? He sure does know about it being on ebay, doesn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babspanky Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 bah. i consider the pdp dvd as an almost private minimovie for the mikster's ego. Cmon, it hasn't even been advertised yet. Sometimes I really wonder why the mastah signed with a major label...just to touring more comfortably? Yeah I agree. I think the whole gig was an exercise for the same reason. He pulled it off, good for him. He can add it to his CV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aw, Rose, of course you are a fan, we all know that! I can see your point of view too, I just don't want BE to fee bad about the posting she did, and I would probably have done the same as she did. To share is half of the fun! I really don't know much about Ebay but what you're saying it do seems strange with the ticket things, not a good at all! The internet can be good and bad but now it’s here and there’s not much we can do about it. What I don’t understand is how a DVD can actually be for sale at all before it’s even have been released…. How did that happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babspanky Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I've a pretty stubborn&proud personality too, but I know when giving up to others good sense. How do you say in english "if you pull the rope too much it get broken"? Don't know, but I get what you mean. The rope is getting worn already.

robertina Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Rose, if this can be of any help, i can see your point. i don't agree with promos (i always wonder about their origin...bah) sold on ebay cause they are a damage for the work and copyrights of ppl, and ,AS A FAN, i would not surely buy them. i don't feel bad about some hints about the forecoming works though, probably i'd feel more comfortable if they came from mikateam direcly here on his fanclub.

allegra Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Dear Blue Eyes, dear Administrators, dear Moderators, i was the one who firstly expressed a little disappointment about the promo dvd and i would like to express better my opinion. I understand very well the excitement of BE and her generosity about sharing some little informations and absolutely i dont blame her. But... because it is arriving a period rich of new stuffs (dvd, second album, singles) i suggest to the moderators to do a brain storming about headlines and rules... what will be the official position of MFC in case of promo releases not official? if there will be promo stuffs on ebay (and to sale "not for sale" promo stuffs is illegal, especially before the official launch) MFC people will buy it? it is obvious that everyone can do what he want... but it will be possible to speak about these "illegal" spoilers here? in MFC? I'm speaking about this especially for the future, not particularly for this BE "case". And my opinion is not just to protect the surprise of the official launch...i care the respect for MIKA and his record company. (and maybe, if we respect them, they will respect us and they will give us some official spoilers) Regards and Thank you for your attention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam Travers Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I think the real criticism should be that as OFFICIAL fan club members we have to buy it from ebay to see it first. That's the real issue IMO. =GretaSometimes I really wonder why the mastah signed with a major label...just to touring more comfortably? it was one of my questions, if he signed with a major to conqueer the world and more specifically the US of A and if yes, why is it so important to him? ... im a two simple person to understand anything like this...anyway Jules has had a natural behaviour, dont see the fuss either.

I'm not sure that simply talking about a promo DVD qualifies as illegal -- but we will certainly bring the existence of this promo DVD to Mika's management's attention. However, this is not the thread for this discussion -- the original point of this thread, when it was started many months ago, was talking about Mika's alleged 6-song EP. I understand that the conversation has metamorphosed into something else, but suggest that if you all want to keep talking about the new DVD or the promo, that you do it in a new thread. dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
