Miguel, perhaps you lost something in translation, but I think you'd be wise
to take your own advice. His statement inferred that IF you offered it up
you would not be perpetuating the bootlegging profit, but ripping them off
at their own game. He was defining the difference between trading shows and
bootlegging them for profit (since *IF* you traded, you wouldn't be charging
money and would not be doing the same thing as the eBay pirate.
That said, you have no need to defend yourself. No one is accusing you of
anything.

(BTW...I know several lists where people join to get free shows and then try
to market them for profit. So some members patrol eBay to see what shows are
being pirated and sold, contact the buyers and offer it to them for free.
And we're talking not-for-sale items here, not copies of commercial units.)
