I don't care if I get blocked or trolled by individuals but I've only been on here for a short-time but get the distinct impression that some people are very insular and territorial about their precious golden nuggets of clean themes. I have viewed previous posts and noticed some themes I'd love dearly to add to my large collection - and would gladly swap - but as the new kid on the block and reading some of the shallow, rude comments across this whole forum I'm now actually reluctant to do so. Lighten up guys - we're all telly geeks interested in the same thing. This is not MI5 sharing cloak-and-dagger secrets to save the world. Seasonal felicitations! Rolling Eyes

I'm inclined to agree. One user notorious for this practice was MNTV (who remembers him?) who used to share TV themes but plaster his voice over the audio to the point where it drowned out the music being played. I think he's banned now?

Remember there a number of things are play,

Most importantly Copyright, none of use have the copyright. Of course it nice to be nice but it has to be done in a way without peeing off the composer or the company that makes the series. ITV ( especial the ITV Breakfast) no longer even entertains enquire about TV theme music because it just an endless request mainly from Under 16.

So many people tried to helpful without plasting stuff all over the web, IE to keep everyone happy, Here a piece of the pie, without publishing library believing there lost control of the rights etc. Of course some people were bitten baldy by some stupid people including some on this forum, which did not help alot of matters hence why there actually reluctant to help anyone else.

Other reason people wont help is because certain people just like to hoover everything up ie Magpies, and well its you know.

Of course its a dying form of email, or writing a letter to a composer and having a nice chat with them without saying I want this and thats it. I've had some nice chat with composers, got no music but some nice chats, like Family fortunes 1985. Of course there a few who are up there own backsides and just dont care about the TV work.

The added benefit of sharing is that if you find yourself with a computer or storage malfunction, you should be able to get it all back if the person you have shared it with is friendly Smile
