Threatening fans with lawyers isn't the best way to go about things.

Because of this, I will be parting with everything KMFDM in my house.

Grow up and don't threaten fans with lawsuits over shitty MDFMK
bootlegs no one is making a dime off of. It's not too hard. If you're
so worried about it, why don't you start selling bootlegs out of the
amazing KMFDM STORE!

First of all, thank you for the explanation. It's nice knowing you
take out at least 5 minutes for some fans that have been throwing shit
around. Shit that's certainly been stirred and over-cooked all too
much.

Secondly, I know you're a busy musician trying to earn some coin.

But
I'd be more worried about FUBAR being passed around like an STD during
Woodstock, or some of the other, more recent releases from you, than
an MDFMK bootleg. I had nothing to do with that PIG dvd, but I knew
about it and didn't exactly agree with much of it. Although it was
probably wrong for him to pass along those videos, he needed the money
for DVD-Rs and for shipping costs, so just know that the money he
"received" didn't go into his massively huge bank account that he
acquired for fucking other bands in the ass from their bootlegs.

Third, yes, a lot of my friends think you are a male genital,
including me, but it shouldn't matter because I'm just some fan whose
opinion doesn't mean shit.

I'm also selling the KMFDM merchandise
because I'm focusing on my future. Unlike everyone else in the glitz
world, I have to give up some things to buy some transportation so
that I can go to school and work.

Lastly, I wish you wouldn't lurk at the forums and pinpoint the true
fans of your work.

We probably set ourselves up for it, and yes you
have duties and copyrights and yada yada yada,

but we are all fans who
look up to you. We buy (bought) your stuff, we supported you, we
listened and adored, and that's a lot more than others have done.
Sure, we aren't all educated in the business world because we are,
after all, a bunch of 19 year olds bitching about trivial shit, & no
I'm not the brightest kid in the world, but all that mattered to me
was the music, the scene, being a fan. That's what I liked to do best.
I wasn't even aware of KMFDM prior to discovering MDFMK. That makes it
impossible, legally, for me to listen to a live show of you guys back
when you first started to "rip the system", unless you or someone else
releases it? Please...

No fan will just sit there until some businessman in a suit gets off
his ass and releases everything.

Even so, who wouldn't want to share
that stuff with other fans, even if it was a crappy recording. I'm
sure a lot of people who heard it, still appreciate it.

see ya.
good luck on fubar. and the fanbase.

hahaha...blackballing is always fun...

...but maybe not poor little darren (he's only 19)

how about blackballing the REAL sycophant here (you know who i mean)


since i am once again posting here, how about a round of q&a
'sabout time.

in order to avoid the obvious q's, here a quick update:

steve white is expected to arrive here soon, we'll utilize his body mass in the recording process.
FUBAR is coming along fabulously, the songs almost write themselves.
we are working on the upcoming single and remixes for it. oh the choices...
the pigs have moved to a nicer sty, we can even record drums there, it's THAT cool...
BRUTE! is in the final stages of new artwork for both single and album.
the 20th anniversary DVD, inkluding the fankam stuff, is nearing its completion and will be released on KMFDM Records very soon.
It'll be a 2-DVD set and chock-full of goodness. Europe, Russia, Australia, Kanada and USSA all on one thing (oh right, there was already a thread on that, sorry)
other than that, the cunts are still the cunts, and that's all for now kids.

Though you do have a habbit of hiring assholes, your legal rep, your webmasters etc.

Sell dvd's, hardly...sorry Im not made of money to be able to cough up $5 for every person that wanted them. Wait though, I could of SWORE I sent an e-mail stating I would eat the cost and ship them out for free, yet...nope still nasty ass e-mails from your "legal dept."...

i have long ago given up getting involved in these boards anyways, with the exception of UHB which is a fine board with a good amount of level-headed, educated and literate, as well as good-mannered (unlike you) people.

Lastly, I wish you wouldn't lurk at the forums and pinpoint the truefans of your work.

Do you feel powerful making fun of my age? The sad thing is though I've been listening to your music since I was 10. Thats almost 10 years now, probably the longest here...Yet you still attack my age...

Whatever...

Maybe you should hire someone else to run your legal dept, the man sounds like he is 8, plus his threats are lame. Though you do have a habbit of hiring assholes, your legal rep, your webmasters etc. If you didn't realize these people represent your music...people judge you on what they say and there actions.

Think about it, you know this could of escalated to ... nothing, had your legal department simply sent a nicer e-mail. Maybe you should re-read what they write before its sent out. Or maybe you are watching and reading, hi-fiving the person writing the emails...who knows...

Mr. Zinc - You're cool, I hope someday I'll be just as cool as you...you truly are my American Idol...

I like cake... I figure alot of people will be reading this thread so now is a good time to bring the issue of me loving cake to the front! all hail cake and also hail some redbull
