The master (the person who recorded the show) could get sued of even /arrested/ for filming this, which is why a NFT (‘not for trade’ - basically meaning that it isn’t for trade or gifting, and can only be bought through the master) date (August 31st) is put on the video. Not just to be selfish - to keep them from legal trouble so they can keep recording your favorite shows. This only hurts them and their chances of staying secret, and, as a result, the community getting more boots, especially since this is the highest quality active recorder in the New York area
Selling makes it so they can pay for equipment and tickets. This is an expensive venture. Most of the money the master makes is to continue filming these. You might think it’s easy to get this high quality of a boot, but it seriously isn’t (And this, of course, isn’t the highest quality, since it’s on YouTube and not in original mp4/VOB). Trust me, if you recorded something like this, you wouldn’t just let it out. You’d be losing hundreds of dollars on each video. I personally don’t typically buy, but if there was something I really wanted (which is rare) I would pay for it. If not, I would wait. It isn’t that hard.
Also, not respecting this is going to kill the bootleg industry. There’s a reason we don’t get video boots of DEH anymore. People leaked them, the master went on hiatus, and no one wanted to go through the trouble of having their videos leaked. That’s what is going to happen with Mean Girls too.
There are alternatives to videos that are NFT; audios. There are tons of audios for this show with no NFT date that people will happily gift until this gets off of NFT status. (I personally don’t collect MG, but I know people who will gift it out and have even seen people openly offering to gift their own).
Please, stop spreading this. It hurts the community. You can wait a few months, since it isn’t going to be NFT forever, and traders would have most likely gifted it if you asked nicely. And anyone who says recording boots is scummy; you’re watching one, so it’s extremely hypocritical.
Also, before anyone asks, the master’s contact info to buy cannot be made public; due to this leak, they have moved from a public release group to a private email list filled with only established traders and people who have previously bought from them. And the master hasn’t quit yet, but they will if another situation like this arises (so, as you can guess, no more Mean Girls or any other popular show boots from them, basically the only very good recorder!)
I hope you enjoyed this while it lasted.
