bigtom 2nd Feb 2013		Thanks Deltics and BT for your contributions to this debate now i wonder does Shaky visit this site.



Billy Two 2nd Feb 2013		That's the one, Deltics. UMG tried sueing Troy Augustos. From the Wiki entry : "Augusto argued that he owned title to the CD copies he sold under three theories. The printed licenses on the promo CDs were invalid The original recipients were allowed to treat the CDs as a gift according to federal law The CDs were abandoned by UMG according to California law If any one of these were upheld by the court, Augusto would win. The court supported both 1 and 2 but rejected 3, and thus ruled that UMG transferred title of the CDs to the original recipients. Therefore Augusto was the owner of the CDs when he sold them and was not violating UMG's rights."



Deltics 1st Feb 2013		This story from 2008 might be of interest.



bigtom 1st Feb 2013		I got an address to email contactus@shakinstevens.com which i assume is his fan club.I did ask a few questions such as what is an unauthorised copy having bought it in a charity shop.



Billy Two 1st Feb 2013		I thought a legal case in the US had put an end to this sorry-arsed practice of banning promo sales ? It's counterproductive (as it's the avid collector fans that really lose out as it becomes rarer so they have to pay more), comes over as neanderthally heavy handed in its arbitrariness, and for gods sake you'd think that if someone was interested in a Shakin Stevens track six years after its release then the record company (and Shaky himself) would be jumping around with joy ! Little Hitlerian outlooked men behind desks with no proper knowledge or interest in the love of music itself, who wield their little bit of power at us because they can...come on out ! Show yourselves ! Let's hear why selling a one track Shaky promo over half a decade after its release is going to destroy the music industry !!



nboldock 31st Jan 2013		Yes, but not fully printable here. Perhaps they ought to get a little perspective. Idiots.



bigtom 31st Jan 2013		Ebay just took this off my listing objections from HEX Ltd / Shakin Stevens stating it was an unauthorised copy .Nowhere on the paper sleeve or the CD does it state that it is a Promo or Not For Sale.I bought it in a charity shop.So they can sell it but i cannot.Anyone got any views on this .



JPGR&B SUBS 22nd Jan 2013		I think the promo is from around September 2006. Now Listen.
