I read about this release and ordered right away. I feel a little guilty in that I'm depriving someone else of a copy, I could have made do with the dts copy (with tracks corrected via software).
The point that copyright headaches are avoided by such a small run make sense BUT. This is an example of why "piracy" can become an issue. People will now be forced to "steal" this release via an "illegal" download as there will be no other way to get it!
Also how can they make any money with such a small release?
You have nothing to feel guilty about as far as I can tell. You bought your copy to enjoy. I could have made do with the official DVD quad mix, reversed as it is, my QPS dts conversion even though sourced from someone's tape or 8 track, or my SQ LP. But we're not to be blamed for wanting what will be the highest quality, go-to version of this album with all formats covered.
Even if an enthusiast buys 2 copies, like I wanted to, whether for a gift, to have a backup or some such, even to sell 1 to a fan who missed out, I think that's cool. But I assume as a huge quad fan, you didn't buy it to deliberately flip for a high profit as some auction sellers do. That's what gripes.
As far a illegal downloads, personally all I've ever done is learn to rip a disc that wouldn't play in 4 ch with the Trinnov Altitude, but plays when ripped to a file in Roon. I can only speak for myself but I've never used Napster in its orig form, never went to a torrent site or obtained bootlegged discs.
