Lynda Elstad or @lyndahere wrote on Twitter yesterday… “Boner stories? That’s the best you have to give? Did you confuse me with someone else?” 9 December 2012
Not quite sure who @lyndahere is writing about but I’ll take it she means me! They are typical comments. Insults, using reverse psychology on people and pretending not to understand what they are writing about in particular on Twitter who don’t agree with her. People who disagree are obsessed, confused, ignorant, stupid or dumb and even ugly so it’s nothing new.
All is fair in love, war and bootlegging it seems. @lyndahere was pipped at the post yesterday by another bootlegger (sorano916) who got their videos up earlier than she did of the Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe Les Mis performance at the Indoor Garden Party in New York on 8 December 2012. @lyndahere bootlegged yet a fifth concert and she has been loading them up and circulating them on Twitter since Sunday morning. Along with Russell Crowe’s official videos at his South Sydney Media YouTube site that makes six copies of many of the songs with a few extras available on Youtube without all the other bootleggers. Over supply by @lyndahere. I think so.
At previous Indoor Garden events she has been the star of the bootlegging show in particular her video of Sting and the gang. That video was beamed around the world not long after it took place and had tens of thousands of hits. It also made television shows like Entertainment Tonight. At the two other concerts in St John’s she had the monopoly over bootlegged material until Russell Crowe put up his own official versions. At the latest show on 8 December 2012 there seems to be a fair amount of competition from other bootleggers who also got their videos up quickly, some of them well known Great Big Sea fans.
There must have been more bootleggers in that section of the venue than anywhere else. Both videos (from her and sorano916) were taken from pretty much the same angle, had pretty much the same quality of sound and similar shots. Different or same person perhaps one with a phone as well as a camera using a different name. One video starting at a different place and one adjusted, one not. It is difficult to tell as I am not familiar with @lyndahere’s bootlegging style. Then there was news footage as well, also taken from the same area as well. If you work it out please let me know.
As @lyndahere and her loyal band of followers keep telling those of us not particularly fond of her work and activities “if you don’t like it don’t watch it”. I would say the same to her of my blog. I am not really interested in explaining it to her as it my story of discovery. But just remember I have not been a full time music fan or social media expert for over ten years as she has. And I don’t usually watch her videos but was curious about the work of the bootlegger who pipped her at the post.
As celebrity gossip emerged about Russell Crowe yesterday @lyndahere expressed her opinion of wilful liars to @russellcrowe on Twitter @lyndahere “A goddamn shame there’s little recourse against wilful liars, isn’t it? And “just ignore it” doesn’t silence a cruel lie”. 12 December 2012. Like the cruel lie she is spreading that it is a postive activity to record, distribute and watch bootlegged and pirated music free of consequences and as long as your heart is in the right place.
