Too funny----taken from the forum:

You wrote: While the critically acclaimed "True Testimonial" sits on a
shelf...
Actually it's downloadable via the internet. And it's a great movie.
It's a motherfucker!

Leger,
there are inferior boot dvd copies in my local indie music store, so
the cat's out of the bag.
(Yet another reasons why you watch your masters like a hawk.)
At this point the filmakers and Kramer are screwed until they can get
an *official* release out there (and even then there is no guarantee
of profit), so which would prefer?
1.) people pay 19.99 for a boot dvd?
2.) have available for download via a torrent so everyone can see it
for nothing?
No matter what happens now, neither of the creative parites involved
are going to see much profit out of this because the people who really
want top see this will find an illegal copy.
If the filmakers where smart they'd set up a PayPal account for
"donations". It won't pay their salaries, but it might cover tape
stock.
Cheers,

Yeah, thanks for this.
Just a note...there are alot more boot copies of "A True Testimonial"
since I last posted here.
I played a show with a band from Montreal last week, and the guitarist
and I were talking about music and I said, "Have you seen the MC5
doc?"
"A True Testinonial? Yeah, got a boot copy in Toronto 6 months ago."
