Thread Name: Peter Kennedy's Folktrax recordings
Subject: RE: Peter Kennedy's Folktrax recordings
Derek, it clearly states on the record[and this is the purpose of PPL], no unauthorised recording whatsoever, IT IS ILLEGAL, You defended people recording illegally for their own private use[I consider that bootlegging whatever your dictionary says, any how whatever you wish to call it, it is illegal.
   KENNEDY recorded at least one programme made by Georgina Boyes, and put it up for sale on folktrax catalogue, I am fairly sure this is what he did with The Bald Headed End Of The Broom, which appeared on his Folktrax catalogue, and which NOW says for private study only, but did not say that a few years ago, When I noticed it.
KENNEDY did record and sell things illegally, and the people on this thread who think he didnt do this to me also, have been unable to answer the question that if he wanted it for private use,why did he not give me a phone call or contact me.
Derek,Martin,Greg, it is illegal[and in my opinion immoral] to record somebody elses LP FOR ANY PURPOSE WHATSOEVER without asking permission.
Peter Kennedy showed Georgina and me a complete lack of respect, in Georginas case he was selling the recording, I am convinced this is what he was also doing with my recording, although I cant prove it now., however he was behaving in an underhand and illegal matter.
IF YOU DONT AGREE, campaign for the abolition of PPL protection
