   Sorry that I didn't make myself clear. What I meant to say was:
This guy is selling bootleg dups of commercial material, so feel free to
make as many copies of his bootleg stuff. We never make dubs of
commercially available Kate videos. And the non-commercially available
stuff should be distributed on a fan-to-fan basis; thus the tape-tree.

   (When I met Vickie, my entire Kate Bush video collection consisted
of two videos, WH and TMWTCIHE, that were shown on _Don Kirshner's Rock
Concert. Everything since then has been traded for.)
