SIMFY LIVE IS GONE?

[Jules]

Just clicked on the link in mk.com site to the Mk simfy concerts and it redirect to a simfy "kind-of-itunes" site, and there is no way to find the concerts part, at least to me.

I tried to google "Simfy live" and then you go to their site, with all the artists etc etc but then, you click on whatever, and you are again redirected to the simfy "kind-of-itunes" site.

So, are those official downloads missing as the passalong ones from the 2005 tour?

I just found it!   I googled "simfylive" and then searched for Mark Knopfler and all of the concerts were still there!

man..i wanna be able to share those few leftover 2010 recordings....

I also googled simfylive, and enter to the site, but then, into the site, you click anywhere and you are redirected to the simfy site.

I tried to search Knopfler, yes, you go to the site where all the concerts are. Try to buy one, and tell me...

Try to buy one, and tell me...

Well, I don't want to buy one, but I got as far as the checkout, so I presume I could have gone all the way!

I'll take your word for it!   I don't want to end up paying for something I already have!

I've tried to login.
It seems that my account doesn't exist anymore. 
Doesn't look good at all.
That's a good reason to try to buy one asap.

A real shame.
I had an account there, giving me the right to access the concerts I purchased (10 in total) and I can't anymore. Lucilky I have backups...
And yes, trying to buy one concert leads you to a stupid facebook page when you try to check-out.
This is scandalous, not even a notification. Even worst than the passalong situation. At least passalong had the excuse to go bust...
So, shall we treat the Simfy digital downloads as public domain now, just like some did with the passalong one ? If there is no respect for us buyers, why should we care ?
I'm pissed off.

I e-mailed Paul Crockford yesterday, and I suggested that if they own the rights of that recordings, not only the simfy but also the passalong ones, it would be nice if they can put them in the digital downloads section of www.markknopfler.com

His answer was that they are working on it, and stay tuned to the website for updates.

That was yesterday, and still nothing new, but I guess it takes time when it comes about the rights of that downloads etc etc.
