[trash-talk] I may be a pest pointing this out... BUT

What if the band were to release a DVD collection?  Seems we've been 
waiting for that for some time now.  I'd love to spend my money on a DVD 
with all their videos - my wallet is open, waiting for them to take my 
money.  But that's a whole other discussion.

I seriously doubt anyone but hardcore fans would buy a Garbage DVD 
collection anyway, which is probably why we haven't seen one yet.  I see 
nothing wrong with the videos getting out to the public on the 'net.  
What's the difference between a video being downloaded off the Internet 
and a video being taped off the TV?  Either way, you could argue it 
discourages someone from purchasing an official release later on.  So, I 
guess the videos shouldn't be shown on TV either. :)

I just see a video as a promotional tool.  It's there to try to drum up 
more interest in the album that's out currently.  Shell, you'd certainly 
know better than I, but I'd be surprised if the band has any problem 
with us sharing the videos.  And if they do, well, they'll get over it.

band were to release a DVD collection? It might be deemed pointless by the
label if everyone has already ripped off copies. While hardcore fans would
buy a DVD for their collection, once a video gets onto a P2P network no
casual fan is likely to spend the money. Even if ever hardcore fan bought a
copy, a DVD would instantly be a costly exercise.
