I'm slowly loosing my trust in mankind. It's quite depressing. We as human beings are getting so selfish. Just looking for the next short fix. Junkies of the "save" online world were we don't care about rules and ethics what are society is built on.
I'm amazed by the moral standard in this place, while I had the feeling this place was more on the sane side of the MJJ fan community, but it don't know man. The stuff people get up with to justify for this theft, I just don't get it. The fact that I now have to read posts in this place by a person that claims to have commit the crime and people complimenting him for his efforts. Seriously, wtf! He probably didn't actually do it and just wants to act cool, hiding safely behind his online mask, but still. It's despicable! And if he did do it, it's even more dispicable that he's bragging about it in here and actually gets support for it.
Some of you cheer for the thief and attack Brad, I mean come on... Sure I understand that most of us in here can't resist watching and listening once it's leaked to YouTube, and that's from a fanatic point of view somewhat ok, but criticizing Brad and cheering for theft. Wow, seriously. Maybe some of you got a bit overexcited, but that is not OK. Brad is in no way to blame and crime should never be celebrated. It's as simple as that and it can't be argued. (Nor will I)
The things that Brad does is within our rules and standards. It's allowed by law, since the estate allows him to share the copyright protected material by playing it to a crowd during a seminar. You might not like it, sure. You can have your opinion and share it, but it won't ever justified what happened. You can be pissed at the estate, but it won't ever justify the s#!t that goes on right now. Brad asks a price, you don't have to pay it. But if you want to, you can. Just like anything else in the world. That doesn't mean you're a victim, nor are his guests extorted or ripped off like some of you claim. And it sure has nothing to do with feeding of a dead black man. How do you guys even come up with this crap. Some of you are really full of shit.
Brad offers a great experience that done from the Heart and for the right reason. Yes it comes at a price. Mostly because of the costs, but he probably benefits from it. So what, just like your local butcher and bakery. There's nothing more to it.
Brad was the technical engineer on huge albums. He started of as just a simple assistant in a studio. Hi started of keeping the place clean, setting up mics, stuff like that. He gained the trust of Bruce, Michael and Quincy. And rightfully so. If you do some research, instead of jumping the wagon to feel good about justifying something that is clearly wrong, you find out that the moral standard of Brad is really high. He always supports Michael and has been very professional during his career and never back stabbed Michael like so many others did.
From his professional career he gained access to exclusive stuff. In the studio, a legal pad with lyrics notes, etc. wasn't considered to be anything worthy. It was just a tool on a normal work day. A lot of it was thrown away. Some of it was gifted to or kept by Brad. Bruce did the same and it's fine. They are the rightful owners, Brad is allowed to sell it. Again, you might not like it, sure. You can have your opinion and share it, but it won't ever justified what happened. Loads of Michael related stuff, including clothes, notes, autographs, rare CDs are being sold for much money. It's what it's worth and it's idiotic to claim that everything should be available at the demand of the fans for free. It's not for us to decide.
Please people, get a grip. Be decent. Be kind. Give it a thought, don't do to others what you don't want to be done to you. Be reasonable. Although this place is online, you're talking to and about real people.
@Lord Jackson, please seek help and work on yourself man. This attitude isn't ok. Or at least if you're fine with that you're doing have the decency to change your nickname, cause in this state you're in, you're not worthy of carrying it.
