A bit late, but adding my 2 cents about Bruce to the pile...

I don't mind paying for the convenience of having footage on dvds. I do mind paying $10 for that convience when the footage can be easily & readily obtainable free of charge by downloading it from someone. When that footage is not so easy to get, I don't mind paying for it.

If he really is a fan first, then why does everybody else who's a fan freely offer footage for download, or will dub & copy things they have for nothing more than the cost of a shipping & blank media?

When I was trying to find the rare footage I couldn't figure out how to get anywhere else, $10 was a bargain I was readily willing to pay to Bruce to have him send me all this wonderful rare footage. Though, I don't think I ever bought stuff from him unless he was doing a sale of some sort.

I'm rambling & repeating myself, but when it comes right down to it, the issue I have is him charging so much for stuff he had freely given to him. If all he was charging was shipping, the cost of a blank disc, and *maybe* a dollar for his time spent copying, I might have a different opinion about it. But when he can't even be bothered to slap a damn label on them? Or put it in a decent case?

Even though I haven't purchased anything from him, I can understand how you feel. My friend was nice enough to let me borrow some of the DVD's that she purchased. I found it quite difficult to go through everything just to get what I wanted to see. Infact, one of the disks was spoiled. I'm not even sure if she knows or not. I never brought it up. Shouldn't he check on those things before he sends them off?
