Mik was making a nominal amount of money,Coins instead of notes.Enough for a
little drink at the end of the month .........pocket money,And for the
amount of effort he put on ,then i feel this is justified.
    So these people who cannot buy Miks stuff,Will they be spending money on
other KJ products?No.Because these people are hard-core fans who already own
all of KJs back catalogue.
    What official release are you referring to...............Sorry Im
getting a bit narked..............Its Ades fault,But id rather not talk
about it.

Ade dear, you may misunderstand me.

I'm not against Mik selling his stuff but my point is that, if you're going
to stop someone doing soemthing, then replace it with something better. I'm
just offering a little more detail into the reason why he was asked to stop.

And at £5  dvd, you can make money. I buy blank DVDs for 26p. cases for
10p, jiffy bags for 12p and postage would be 50p.  At £5 a pop, Mik would
actually be making more money than the band would likely get on an official
release!

The fact that KJ keep missing business opportunties no longer surprises me!

Nice one Brian - sums it up really. No, I don't agree with Rob, but as he's
a bit closer to the band,
he has been given a different outlook on this. Shockingly, I do agree with
Pete. Fact is that Mik was
doing KJ a favour & not himself. Helping to keep their market alive. Well,
if they wanna be like that, 4k 'em!

  I agree with what has been said by Rob and Peter.
  Although Mik may have been selling them I think covering costs etc may
have been the motivation behind it.

  Now this is making a profit from the bands work and an entilerly different
matter (unless this is official and got under my radar)....

    As far as I know all the stuff on Miks site were bootlegs and
unavailable
    anywhere else, And I would confidently say that no-one has brought
something
    off Miks site INSTEAD of buying from the shops,We are left with the
    situation today of there being no place to buy live KJ DVDs,If they had
    loads of titles available in the shops,then i could understand the
reasoning
    .But now we are left with a void.
    As I said before that KJ should of got all Miks DVD ,took all the best
    bits and turned it into a three hour "best of",given away with the first
    batch of the new official DVD.Left Mik open,So people who wanted more
,could
    purchase them
    Actually KJ did request a copy of all of Miks
    mastertapes.......................Opppssssssss..............I do go on
at
    times.

    Your'e right Pete, it would have made sense to formalise the videos
thing
    but there is much more to it than that.

    Basically, Mik was shut down because he was selling the stuff. I think
Mik's
    a top fella but can understand the reasoning as it wasn't his stuff to
sell.
    Essentially he was selling studio recordings in the form of the videos
and
    it "could" be considered that this would be the same as if someone was
    selling mp3s of the official recordings.

    Bootleg gigs are slightly different but its a very fine line.

    The best thing would have been to have git an official video /dvd
together
    and then close down Mik.

    Do you know the reasoning for the management banning Mik's site?
    He was nt making much money,selling a nominal amount.And there is no
    official release of these recordings.It would of benefited everyone if
KJ
    would of bought Mik on board,Advertised the site as official and charged
10
    quid for a DVD.Everyone a winner.And I hope Mel never made an official
    complaint about money and got Mik shut down.................ooopppsssss
Me
    and my big mouth.
