Northern Wish Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Other than Quebec I have all of those cds, that you more than welcome to copy.Weird too: the only time I have had cds stolen out of a car I lost 2 out of those 4.

bouche Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 So does this mean that rubberdinghy has essentially given up his license to own a legal backup of his recordings? Does he have to remove these tracks from his computer if he's ripped them for an mp3 player?I wonder how the CRIA or RIAA would respond. sorry about the theft dinghy. if you've never done that before, you probably won't again.

rubberdinghy Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 No kidding...Normally, I only bring burned discs to the car....unfortunately I'm sure you've seen my "Computer Help" thread.Thanks Sean...I've got digital copies of those discs, but I'd still like to buy them again. I'll have to go to End Hits for that Sadies disc, but I have to pick up New Seasons as well. Maybe Modest Mouse will hit the discount bin soon.

PalacePrincess Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 that sucks, dinghdong, i'm sorry to hear that. if you want more autographs i'll volunteer to help you get them in toronto!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakis Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 That sucks. Hopefully you can find the cds for cheap somewhere. when you come to Toronto you could probably find all or most cds used at sonic boom on bloor. I lost both those modest mouse cd's also. I was cleaning my car and took those cds out and put them on the roof of my car then drove off by mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I'll have to go to End Hits for that Sadies disc, but I have to pick up New Seasons as well.You could buy them from the band (assuming they have a well-stocked merch table) on Nov. 24:http://www.jambands.ca/sanctuary/showtopic.php?tid/243202/Aloha,Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larry_llama Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 people still steal cds? WTP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I can understand stealing real cds- it is cash to crackheads or other; but to take a binder of valueless (real monetary value) cds, is only being a assfuck pure and simple.I still have only replaced about half of the good ones I lost in that binder, that probably ended up at the bottom of the Petitcodiac River.

d_rawk Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Dinghy - might be worth checking out the 1 or 2 closest shops that buy used CDs. Might get lucky and be able to buy back your original copies on the cheap.Sorry to hear about the theft. Sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Yeah call them right away. When some idiot decided to steal my cds, his take away was MMW, The Band, Gypsy Soul, Ziggy Stardust etc.With such a unique list the guy didn't even flinch and told me- "yeah I just bought them. You can call the cops and have them take your cds; or you can have them back for what I paid for them."Bam, over $100 worth of cds back in my hands for a cool twenty.S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishtaper Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 why would you have to pay the store anything to get back CDs that were stolen from you? didn't the used cd store buy stolen goods and therefore automatically gives up their right over them? i know, it would be a matter of you proving that they were stolen, but i'd think the CD store would possibly be willing to give them back to you, rather than have you call the police, etc. i know, how delightfully naive I am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 It was pay $20 and get them right then no questions asked, or call the copsk, file a report have them show up and take a statement and then have them hold on to the cds for evidence at the trial which would have taken between 6 and 8 months.Also I failed to mention in my first post that with the cds that got stolen was my pipe and herb so I was a little nervous about this guy going to trial and ratting me out.Yes he was in possession of stolen merch, but he did what he to do legally: took valid id info from the thief.I was lucky enough to glance at the info while in the store and got the guys phone number. I called him up and told him I wanted everything else back (including the burned cds). I got most of them back, and my pipe and herb (minus a few bowls).Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishtaper Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 sounds quite reasonable and efficient in your case, sean. especially given the other goods taken. i was just musing more generally ... hilarious that buddy actually gave you back your stuff, tho' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I was on the phone and threatened him pretty mightily. It turned out he as about 90 lbs soaking wet and my threats were received loud and clear.Oh and at that point, he didn't know if I was going to call the police or not. Which I of course held over his head.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hux Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Dinghy wanna borrow some of my McCartney and Wings CD cases to store your discs? Better protection than a car alarm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
