    There's nothing illegal about these boots. Remy, the webmaster, is very strict about what we allow and some of us have a roving eye for any 'bad' music. These shows are taped from live gigs and U2 themselves have no problem with us sharing them as long as no money changes hands. Feel free to download what you like, it should contravene no rules from Uni.

    They've probably blocked RapidShare and MegaUpload. Most have it blocked.

    And they've never been released officially so they're unofficial recordings, and nobody loses any money or makes any money off those recordings. That's why you'll see so many official recordings in threads closed because of the "bad" music.

    All the videos are fine as well because of the fact they've never been officially sold or released.
  6. hey guys, didn't know where to post this and didn't want to open a new topic for this random question. I'm studying abroad in Rome this semester, and...welp here's the story(from my blog)...

    After a long day, Katrina, Emily, and I were exhausted and were walking to the bus stop near the area where there are, well lets just say, stores that I could never afford. Obviously, everyone takes a gazillion pictures while in Rome, so we are use to seeing people stop in the middle of the streets, sidewalks, etc. I noticed that there were these two people with big ole cameras running four steps, taking 10 pictures, running another few steps, turning around and taking pictures. I yell to my friends...LOOK! PAPARAZZI! Walking next to us were, hand in hand, a man and an absolutely gorgeous lady. From behind she looked like Posh Spice. I almost thought it was her, because Beckham's AC Milan is in town for a game of footie.

    While we were behind them, I kept putting up "bunny ears" on the couple. Emily said to the guy, "are you guys someone famous?" He smiles, laughs, and says, "Nope. What are you guys doing in the city?" We stated that we were students from Chicago. He says, "OBAMA!!!!" (like 3 other Italians that day asked me where I was from...even a guy who couldn't speak English had a conversation about politics in Italian...all I did was nod my head). Since he was so nice, we told him we'd protect him....so me katrina and emily ran in front of them. I kept putting up peace signs and made funny faces so the paparazzi couldn't take pictures. The paparazzi were absolutely pissed off and were screaming at us in Italian...oops! Did you think we stopped? Heck no, it was too fun. When the famous couple turned the street, they said "ciao and take care" to us. A really friendly couple. So glad to sorta/kinda meet them...whoever they are.

    Here is a picture that I took from behind me, didn't want to be a nerd and turn around to take a picture, so it is bad quality. I had to edit the my fat head, because it was all the way on the left side of the picture. Anyone know who they are?


    I'm absolutely stumped, any Italians in the house who may possibly know who this couple is? Thanks for the help.



  7. welcome....have fun you have been to that concert in chicago which is on DVD???


  8. yes..that was Bono's b-day...where were you..? somewhere near to the stage?
