Woweee thats a good read. Things arent looking too good for pfco after that one. When did NPF become the battlegrounds for all this?
As for the stalker video, it disgusts me. Grr.
SYD STALKER ????

Its not my call but I dont think this should be locked, ITP started a genuine thread about a Floyd member that got diverted, do I need to say why it got diverted? Lets just carry on with the original intention of this thread.
So, as I originally intended to post here earlier............
It is a disturbing video isnt it, I must admit tho I was strangely fascinated when I watched it but disturbed as well, and there really is an alarming amount of these types of videos available for other artists too. I collect Depeche Mode stuff also and I remember someone tagged on the end of a video some footage of one of them in a nightclub with their mates having a laugh filmed with a hidden camera, what on earth did they think I was going to do with that?!

Well, selling it is definitely wrong and I can't imagine how anybody could have got a permission to do this from Syd's family. As I say, I downloaded and watched it just because I thought it might be some rare concert footage. I'm not that kind of celebrity freak who wants to own every broken mug they touched. The music will do me.pfco wrote:Yes that is the infamous "stalker video" filmed by people associated with rogerwatersonline.com website, and sold by the owner of pinkfloydz.com. The seller claimed to have permission from Syd's family, but further investigation proved that they did not.

as a private citizen I know I get really offended when anybody takes my picture without permission
and I dont like those security cameras they have everywhere now
so I can see why a retired celeb, especially one with Syd's particular history, should have his rights to privacy respected
and "fans" who choose to watch violations of this privacy anyway are just creating a market for more
Ive never watched that First Trip vid either, even though its widely available
that has always seemed exploitative in the extreme, as if Syd was nothing more than the drugs he consumed

HAHA WELL DONE COL!
Sandy made it clear to me that her and joe enjoy "The Division Bell" alot, which is great... but there is just one thing i want to make clear to them. the lyrics for "Lost For Words"...
"So I open my door to my enemies,
And I ask could we wipe the slate clean.
But they tell me to go fuck myself.
You know you just can't win."
sound familiar PFCO? as in between u and me?
i really hope they see this post.

Wrong? or pointless? ((Or is it both?? )) It's obviously readily available, even if you're NOT looking for it, and you stumble on it accidentally. I suppose some pepole are morbid enough to want to watch it, But I'd hardly call it one of those morsels of great Floydage to which I was referring
New twist to this thread.....
Do you guys think that people who make the stalker footage available for download are comparable to the person(s) who originally filmed it, and sold it? Is it as bad to keep offering it for download/file sharing/ so on, as it was to make it in the first place?

Here in Australia there has been a huge crack down on illegal child pornography. Guys have been jailed for years having alot of it in possesion, yet where are the guys that actually film it?
i haven't heard one news report on a defendant actually filming it or distributing it, only owning it from downloading it. all those shareware programs are riddle with the crap, yet u dont see any of those being closed. Thats where all these people are getting it from. From IRC channels and everywhere, yet none of these have seen justice.
Keith or Mod - delete this if inappropiate.
