!!!!! I GOT AN E-MAIL !!!!!

Originally posted by Simon Park FloydLegal stuff comes from lawyers not from record company executives.That's why lawyers charge £250 plus per hour.The data protection scam previously mentioned is a well documented scam that operates in the uk and it asks directly for £95. It comes via the post and relies on peoples naivety regarding the UK Data Protection Act.

True, but it is coincidental that Floyd should get one after all the debate on here about the merits and suchlike of his FTP server. It could well be of course that the scammer has access to a database of FTP site holders.

Whoever sent it knows enough about New Order's record label's global operations to know that this would have an impact. Unless the mail came on authentic Warner Bros e-mail stationery (and a company as far up their own ass as Warner would definitely have their own logo on anything) and unless the mail came from a Warner account (again, easily traceable), I would suspect that it is a scam or at least something from someone in a position to do this, which narrows down the field considerably.

Shug, do you want an original vinyl copy ? Slight rip on the sleeve where it was sellotaped to the magazine, but in good nick apart from that. I'll pick it up over the weekend from home and mail it to you. Has no value to me.

Whether it's a scam or a sick joke by someone looking to (successfully) stir things here, how can we tell I just like to stress that I do not have any objections to Floyd and his server. However, I do feel that it would be best if it was hidden so that the site doesn't run the risk of getting shut down, as was argued when the weeding was discussed. That's all I was trying to say when I added my tuppence worth earlier this week, but somehow it was all taken out of proportion. I get the feeling we're all a bit tetchy lately ...

Just stop posting here or i will sue you!

Sorry dad. :p

conspiracy theory 1119, i am not one to apportion blame on anyone and/or suggest directly or not any particular name/person etc,,blah,blah,blah. but just maybe one of our old brazillian friends might have got the hump! or maybe not!

if it's true we should say:

FUCK YOU

sorry for my hard words! the recordcompanies earned so much money and we payed for every record and the bands didn't get much money. and now nearly every cd is copy protected. why? we have the right for our own safety copy! and if we want to trade - we should do it! in every way we can do!

Originally posted by Floyd Anderson ...thank you so far......for one short moment, I was unsure, of believing it or not, but now I hope to know......I'll start again in 12 hours...Floyd.

Nice one Floyd, don't let them bring you down

Exactly, keep the spirit and don't give a damn about the major record companies (all complete twats if you ask me)!

l8rs,

Nick ;)

Originally posted by Low-Life I'd be surprised if anyone has grassed him up at all. It's not exactly been kept much of a secret on here though, has it, and anyone can read these messages, including the band and their representatives, who are known to visit the site.

Well, if any representatives of Warner/London do read these messages, they'll see a bloody large consensus of opinion that WE WANT THE HARD TO FIND STUFF US FANS PAY A SMALL FORTUNE ON EBAY FOR RELEASED ON CD!!! That's the main reason a few people are keen to trade/swap the stuff that is all but impossible to get hold of in this day and age. Both London and Warner are major labels, for Christsake, they can MARKET and SELL this stuff, and there must always be at least a modest demand for New Order stuff - you package it carefully enough, and pile loads of rare stuff on a few CDs, guess what - you'll make a PROFIT and reduce the number of people seeking to pirate/fileshare the old vinyl tracks!

Hello??
