Bootlegging bootlegs...

I´m quite annoyed about an entry I discovered yesterday. Obviously there are some (one?) guys downloading concerts from this blog and reposting it on their owns. I don´t care about that, I´m not the owner of this concerts, just created the mp3s by recording my old MCs and MDs to my hard drive. But this very guy complains in his blog about others, who "stole" the concerts from his blog without saying thank you.
I´m really concerned about the fact, that this other guy asks repeatedly for "donations" to "maintain his expensive rapidshare premium account", in other words he tries to make money out of the files you can download here for free. (And if you have any doubts about the source of these files, just compare the pub dates of the posts...).
Let me point it clearly: None of the concerts of this blog was downloaded somewhere else and reposted here. Of course, there are some concerts here that you can find in other blogs, too. That´s because we drew from the same sources by listening to and recording the same radio/ tv stations.

This blog is a complete non profit blog, I´m just a devoted jazz fan.
Enjoy the music and keep on grooving

UPDATE

P.S. If you want to make a donation, feel free to do so, e.g. for the National Marrow Donor Program or for the Deutsche Knochenmarkspenderdatei DKMS (German Bone Marrow Donor Center), fight leucemia!

Sorry to hear that's happening to you. I'm not aware of anyone doing that but I'll be sure to avoid any blog that does. Keep up the good work.

Sorry to hear that's happening to you. Some people suck. Let me know who it is so I can boycott that guy's blog. Keep up the good work. I look forward to your next post.
