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.

Thanks for the comment Jangus. At least now I know I'm not alone.

Out of deference to Keith we have moved our response to Colin Turner's post to a place on our own site. Anyone who's interested in reading it can go to the url below.

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............

You're more than welcome my young apprentice

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.

I got thrown off a course once for my part in making a stalker video that featured footage of the course tutor out shopping with his wife on a Saturday afternoon. It was part of an assignment, but he didn't see the funny side.

It's not big and it's not clever.

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

I'm gonna give R.piti a call and ask him his thoughts on this.

I thought the video was boring as hell. I have the full one, Day So Dark.

It's annoying that people, anyone, even bother to talk about his life and/or do lots of research on him etc.

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.

So, I guess it would be wrong to make the stalker footage available for download?

In The Pink · Post by **In The Pink** » Sun Mar 20, 2005 1:54 pm

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?

perhaps this is a bad comparrison but i think its close...

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.
