There is a plan for a group of people to publicly gift a large number of currently-NFT items (with all master/trader information removed) around the Internet, all because they don’t agree with masters selling their content. A trader was emailed by someone who wanted to send a warning to masters. Right now, I have a confession in my inbox from one of the masters who will be affected, and one from a person in that group. Why go after masters and not the people reselling their collections? Is it only because you want this new thing RIGHT NOW and anyone who makes you wait has to suffer?

This message is a notice for everyone to keep an eye out for anything recorded in the past six months that may pop up on your favorite social media platform. Don’t download anything. Masters are not trying to profit, and some literally use the money to attend more shows for fans to have bootlegs.

NYCG8R is tired enough of the leaks to be one leaked video away from a large watermark across the entirety of every video yet to be released. SunsetBlvd79 has likely already left for good. SJ Bernly almost definitely stopped filming due to a video leak (and was one of the only masters to consistently offer HQ/BluRay copies of videos). StarCuffedJeans refuses to release any more Mean Girls videos due to leaks. Broadway Enthusiast has shut down his site and will not release his newest video. These are all people who have filmed almost every U.S. video in the past five years. All affected by people leaking their NFT videos.

And I’m really breaking my personal rule to stay fairly unbiased: If you are part of that group, go fuck yourself.

Just to let everyone know, the master NYCG8R sent out an email today warning that if any more of his videos get put on YouTube, everything he releases in the future will have a watermark across the picture for the entire length of the video.

I don’t know if it’s a trader who continues to break the rules or a non-trader who just gets the video from friends, but this has to stop. The community depends on him, especially when it comes to Broadway videos. It’s a wonder he hasn’t officially quit filming despite all of his rules being broken and so many of his videos being leaked.

If you send anyone a video from NYCG8R, please try to remind them that all he asks once the NFT dates are up, is that nothing gets posted to YouTube or any other public site. (Even clips of videos are not to be posted.)

hello all new and wannabe traders !!

hi everyone !! i made this site to help out anyone who wants to get into the bootleg trading community. personally i found that it was quite intimidating to get started and would have loved to have someone who i could go to and ask all my questions, so i’m hoping i can be that person for anyone who is just starting out.

check out my getting started page and hit up my askbox with any of your questions and concerns !!

Some of you really need to put your goddamn critical thinking hats on and think of a second about why some musicals generate larger fandoms than others, especially when it comes to what gets large amounts of fanfiction written for it.

Amount of fic written for any given musical is not representative of how well liked and appreciated something is.

And yes totally, there are times when something is underappreciated due to large cultural isms, fandom is not exempt from racism, misogyny, ableism, ect. ect. ect.

But also, sometimes the reason is just….not all things are particularily good candidates for writing fanfic about…

Fandom generally tends to gravitate to pieces of media which are more open ended, which have larger ensemble casts, things which leave questions unanswered or which people want to ‘fix’ in some way. Plus musical fandom slants young so the things that have big fandoms generally are about younger characters.

So can we please stop with all this faux outrage about x musical having a bigger fandom or more fic than y musical without, you know, examining the possible reasons why that might be.

But hey I guess that’s not as snappy as trying to show how haughty and superior you are for liking The Right Kinds of Musicals while having contributed literally nothing at all.

I don't mean to be rude but can I ask why you dislike waitress?

i don’t even hate it as a musical honestly, it’s not my fave by any means but i don’t think it’s outright bad. i just think every single decision made from a marketing perspective is embarrassing. like the incessant stuntcasting rather than just letting the show die a dignified death - it’s had an acceptably long run, it’s now branched out into a national tour & a west end production, the broadway production does not need to keep dragging out more and more desperate casting decisions to bring the grosses & number of tickets sold up to a non-embarrassing level. i think at this point the marketing comes at the expense of the actual message of the show, it really has been reduced to a commercial outlet (exemplified by their several male stuntcasts that lead to them taking up space in marketing material when this show’s initial draw was that it was a women-led story with a largely female creative team) and it’s just cheesy and bad

it’s not a bad show but every aspect of its marketing makes it look like an utterly unremarkable piece of theatre that at this point exists only to be a star vehicle marketed by girls wearing ugly pie hats in times square, and that’s doing a real disservice to the material itself

(also. they only have one brunette wig between the national tour and the broadway production, which is embarrassing)
