"Totally immoral" - no, since putting up the Nic Jones show, the copyright for all the material that I have uploaded is either trad (no copyright) or resides with the performers who have given me approval to put up the shows (own compositions), namely:

Jez Lowe, Tasmania 1997 - own compositions, permission given

Mark Robson (musician), Tasmania 1995 - own compositions, permission given

Kristina Olsen, Tasmania 1997 - own compositions, permission given

Kavisha Mazzella, Australian singer-songwriter, Tasmania 1996 (main hall set) - own compositions, permission given

Neil Adam (Australian Singer-Songwriter), Tasmania 1997 - own compositions, permission given

The Wrigley Sisters (Jennifer & Hazel Wrigley) live in concert, Tasmania, March 2002 - own compositions plus trad., permission given

Monsieur Camembert (band) - Hobart, March 2000 (audio) - own compositions + trad., permission given

Chris Foster in concert 1975 / in session 1977 (audio only) - traditional, permission given

Chris Foster at the Gypsy Davey Folk Club, Oxford, March 1975 (audio only) - traditional, permission given

Nic Jones at Oxford Polytechnic Folk Club, March 1975 (audio only)
- traditional, permission given

If regarding other shows my actions are "totally immoral", I am in good (bad?) company, e.g. see Dime, Sugarmegs as well as Youtube - many, many, many, many more shows put up there than mine. I suggest you address your complaints there in the first instance and see how far it gets you...

There are indeed a small number of older shows that I uploaded for which I did not seek permission, but the weight of views on this forum (other than yours) seems to be that there is minimal harm done, and they can be removed if requested by relevant parties. Honestly, I am not trying to pick a fight here, just trying to find a way to save culturally significant material that would otherwise disappear when I do... - Tony
