Hi,
I think it is better to stop that discussion about:
""I want to have that on video or dvd""
I only hope that The Stones it will bring out.
One point:They sell 500, and afterwards??? copy, copy copy as you do all!!!
No Stones, do not bring it out. A lot of people doesn't want to spend
1$,or 1£ or 1€ on it.
If you bring it out: Do it with an very expensive price for it.
I don't think you understand what being a fan is.
A true fan of a band (any band) will always buy the official version
unless it's way too stupidly expensive even if there is a free download available.
I have often downloaded Stones 'freebies' while waiting for the official to get in the shops but I always buy the physical discs asap.
Download available = Some true fans will wait until the official is in the shops.
Download available = Some true fans will download while waiting and then buy the official.
Download available = A person who is not a true fan will maybe download and not buy the official.
Download NOT available = The person who is not a true fan will still not buy the official. (ie. No change).
Putting the price way up will mean
more people download because even true fans can be outpriced.
Keeping them cheap will mean more people buy the official even if there are free downloads available.
If I download stuff from a different band when there is official available it's just because I want to check it out without spending - as people used to with cassettes in the seventies. This is stuff that without the download I wouldn't buy anyway BUT, if I like it a lot, I will then buy the official stuff.
From my experience, most people like a proper collection of official stuff from their favourites bands.
I would hazard a guess that just about all the people, with one or two exceptions no doubt, who bother to come on this board are true fans
You assume a lot about the people on this board.
