well said JOEYKID.

I have over 150 Bon Jovi live CD's/Vcd's and DVD's - yet they have never suffered financially from me because I have never NOT bought an official product.

I would never buy a bootlegged official product but I think BJ have been commecially naive over the years (which is a surprise, knowing what Jon is like!) by not releasing live shows in any formats - because we would buy them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are lots of bands out there, like Counting Crows, that encourage taping and trading - and no-one buys or sells because of that, there are enough people to trade with and sellers are shunned.

Because Bon Jovi haven't engendered this feeling I see people all over ebay selling live shows - it's the bands own fault really!
