The SDE Surround Sound Series (Updated list of titles with links in post #1)

[Suffolk David]

eBay are very fast to respond to reports of counterfeit items, they'll respond just as fast to your report as Paul's. I'll take a look also and report the listings.
If they're still on there, feel free to link to them (it's an eBay link, not a link to download copyright material so not against QQ's TOS) to make it easier for the members here that know how, to start reports.

Here you go - link for Tubular Bells (copy, in a standard case with no booklet).

He also sells (what I believe) to be a ‘copy’ of the Bob Dylan disc, and what I know is a ‘copy’ of the DSOTM Atmos disc, as when I asked he said it was a 1:1 copy - you’ll note he states to contact him before purchase

This is how I submitted my report of his listing, via the blue "Report an Item" link on this page:

He also admitted they're BD-Rs, I sent Paul a screencap of the message:

Thanks - I've done the same, also for the DSOTM BD-R

the sad part is that most people either do not notice and if they do , they don't give a ****...I had someone sell me the Star Wars BD Collection on BD-Rs and he had a bunch of + FBack!

Fake DSOTM? Imagine getting on the wrong side of Roger Waters and his always busy team of lawyers.

Re-reported, and SDE is on it now too.

I think selling that particular title is a rather different case because people (including me) have reported numerous blu-ray disc failures from the Immersion set, which led to a replacement program. I think that program has now finished, so if you're late in buying the Immersion set (prompted to do so perhaps by the disappointing 50th Anniversary set), you might end up with a faulty disc (either straight away, or after a while).

There is also no way of getting the blu-ray without buying it as part of a box set (or unless someone sells the blu-ray without the box set), and Floyd are hardly going to be short of a few quid if someone's copying an (otherwise) next to impossible to obtain blu-ray, and Floyd could quite easily "solve" the problem with a stand-alone, reasonably priced blu-ray that would sell by the shedload (particularly if that included Parsons' quad mix, which neither the recent box set has, or the reissued SACD).

Full disclosure: I ended up buying the BD-R off ebay and it's the only one that works because three other discs failed: the original in the Immersion set; a replacement sent by the retail company who sold the set; and a replacement sent by the music company running the replacement disc program.

First, I feel that intellectual property is property and deserves protection just like any other property. That being said, when someone whips up demand and doesn’t provide supply, I’m not sympathetic to cries of plagiarism or IP theft. If you won’t sell it, don’t expect those royalties, but do expect that others will figure out a way to fulfill the demand.

 

[dobyblue]

Potential disc issues is why I back up all my Blu-ray Audio discs, either to an IMG file on my PC or to a blank BD-R because the 25GB blanks are super cheap to buy a large spindle of and very rare does a studio music BD exceed a BD25.

Or bundle the desireable BD with a bunch of vinyl many aren't interested in and then put a huge collector based price on it, what do they expect?

In some cases, it might just turn off the fan element in some people for good. Greediness is even worse than stinginess.

True, i’ll never get the dark side of the moon atmos unless it’s a standalone blu ray, I now 100% fear if and when “The wall” is released it will be trapped in a £300 box

This is so great. I feared that FOMO was going to be real with this title in terms of the larger LP/BRD box set selling out before a standalone BRD release was considered…which would have meant I owned a bunch of LPs that never got played and paid the heftier cost. Thankfully this wasn’t the case, but FOMO is still real as there is only 5k of these being made, so folks… don’t dilly dally here!

ABC Lexicon Of Love is a good fit for SDE - Quality 80s UK Pop. The Atmos remix is already done, by SW, but no announcement has been made on physical release yet AFAIK (for any reissue, let alone the immersive mix). So it's about as likely a contender as I can think of.

(Later) Ah... just seen that there has been some mention of a physical release, including the Album's 'video album', Mantrap. So that is unlikely to mean a stand-alone BD.

"ABC Lexicon Of Love is a good fit for SDE" I was right, hooray!
"So that is unlikely to mean a stand-alone BD." I was wrong, hooray!
ABC and SDE are 4 Ever 2 Gether!
