I wonder how sorry "Jessie" would be if he found himself/herself banned from all the limited soundtrack retailers.
Do let us know how this progresses.
Cheers

If anyone takes concrete action that results in that site going down and that woman or man suffering real life financial repercussions, I will buy 500 bucks worth of FSM cds from SAE to support Lukas and give half of them away to FSMers. Open, serious offer.

This sounds like our own warped version of CATFISH! And unlike that woman, this cuter culprit will definitely be learning the error of her ways. It's young Gen X punks like this (if that is "her" real picture) who seem to think nothing of internet bootlegging, until they get caught by the real world that never entered his / her mind at the time of uploading this. Hopefully this will make them think twice.

It's shit like this which makes me want to buy the Ron Jones Box Set, and I don't even care for the music or Star Trek!!!!
I hope someone gets prosecuted for this!
It may be likely, now that culprits are being identified.
If this makes the 'leggers think twice, it can only be a good thing.

If this "jessie" person is indeed living here in Ireland I'll be appalled!

I am glad these people are getting it thrown back at them!

Hello,
I am a member of the FFShrine and I support Lukas fully, frankly, and completely. I vote with my wallet and have so many FSM albums on my shelf that I will soon be needing a new shelf. I am there to discuss music. I occasionally download obscure things (out of print, expensive imports, etc) but ONLY EVER to convince myself that those items are worth a purchase. Yes, I know it's illegal and I know some people here will argue that there is no moral piracy, but for what it's worth I buy every note of music I listen to. Some people will think I am just trying to justify theft; I hope that the majority of people reading this - even though you are no doubt angry beyond comprehension (as I am) will see that whilst I'm not perfect my heart is in the right place.
I find the sharing of music from specialist labels absolutely dispicable. I had a similar reaction when the Superman box was shared - it turned up on the same day MY copy arrived in the post - and I despaired.
Though both cases are illegal, I see a massive difference between downloading a twenty year-old album (particularly one which is out of print and available only at auction for exhorbitant sums of money) and systematically ripping off brand new releases from small labels.
I am disgusted and upset that the Ron Jones box was shared. I am also sorry on behalf of those who partook. Please do not mark us all with the same brush. I spend so much money on such releases (particularly from FSM and Intrada; the Gods of film music) that I barely have enough money to eat.
For the pirates who think everything is free... I can suggest nothing. I wish it didn't happen; because I know only too well what a colossal effort - and a labour of love - it is for labels to put out such releases.
I can only say - and yes, this is selfish as well as selfless - please, don't stop. Great music is bigger than any of these idiots. I don't know how you can make them go away, but I do know that there are legions of fans who appreciate the work you do and who demonstrate that appreciation by putting their hands in their pockets and buying it.
Finally, please - no war against FFShrine. There are a great many good people there who do nothing but *talk* about how great your releases are, and *buy* them - who do not deserve to get caught up and swept away in the heat of the battle. It is a forum that features music piracy as only a tiny minority of its purpose. Trying to get it shut down will help nobody.
Getting these links taken down IMMEDIATELY will help - which I am working on as we speak.
Peace and good wishes,
R.A.

Dear Sarah,
You're kind of cute, but you're not very bright, are you?
If you've caused the end of FSM, we are so not exchanging holiday cards any more. I will not give you a ride to the video-game store so you can buy World of Warcraft XXXVVVIII or whatever the hell it is you waste hours and hours of your life on. I will not hold your hand as you weep at the ending of the latest Harry Potter book. I'm hitting delete on all that. Grow up, get a job, and buy a clue.
You've just pissed off Lukas Kendall, and I can tell you from personal experience that that's not a very good idea. I am chuckling out loud as I type the following: Good luck with that.
Illegal downloading is going to wreck the music labels I care about. Stealing is just not cool. People seem to float around in this weird double-standard bubble that makes downloading everything under the sun somehow OK. It's not.
You wants the music, you gots to pay for it. Otherwise there will be no music to buy. It'll be behind bars, waiting to be let free. Keep the torrents up and you're probably gonna know exactly how all that music feels.
Sincerely,
Jason

LOL, the problem is that these people don't see it as stealing. They call it sampling and they argue the labels deserve what they get. I support the labels because without them, us collectors would be missing out on a proper presentation of the music.
