Well, seeing as John W obviously reads this forum, can I offer him a invitation to post his reasons for changing his mind?
Have none of you ever changed your mind about anything? A lot has happened since he made that original post. We now know for example that the filming really, really annoys and distracts MK, so perhaps that is why John changed his mind on this matter.
My own view is this.
I don't record video myself, nor do I ecourage others to do so.
However, I admit that I HAVE downloaded DVDs that people have recorded since the filming ban came into place, on the basis that it's already been done and I can't undo it. I have also downloaded DVDs from the 2005 tour with Passalong audio synched to them.
Honest truth is I've never watched any of them though, with a wife and two kids the television is always being used and I don't really get a chace to watch MK stuff, I've only watched Real Live Roadrunning ONCE since it came out 4 years ago and only clips of Alchemy. Much prefer audio that I can listen to on my ipod or in the car, where I am in control.
