Not really. If you asked them they would probably say they are against it. But they aren't so against it to take much action. Brian has stated that he doesn't really like it as he feels recordings cheapens what should be a relationship between the band and the audience that night. But he understands it happens. Roger particularly hates those who make money off bootleg recordings. In 2004 Queen tried to combat the bootleggers by making some of the bootlegs available on their official site (I can't remember if they charged) - but they were the exact bootlegs out there...It was called The Top 100 Bootlegs. But it ended up being abandoned after like 32 or something. To sum up, I think they are aware it happens, they aren't happy about it, but as long as it isn't being sold, they accept it. I imagine like everyone else they may have changed with the times. As we've discussed here the whole sales structure is different and Brian's tweeting links to streams even. The audience is no longer just in the arena or just during the tour, it's 365/24/7. Not really. Brian's quotes were pretty recent. And he's definitely not tweeting the stream. His webmistress tweeted them. TOTALLY different. Brian only really does his soapbox and doesn't look at the rest of the site. |
