Ed's Bootlegs (inc. Supreme Court summons), not so legal after all? Options

[OutToDry]

I've been searching for public notes on what may be happening in the courtroom, here's one of them. I suspect the selling of bootlegs on Ed's website are not legal as they appear.

You know whenever this whole Ed being a dick to his fans thing comes up I always remember something that Ed said once in an interview. It was something about the first time he met his idol, Bono, and he turned out to be such a great and welcoming guy. Ed said something to the affect of "if he had turned out to be an ass I think I would have gone and thrown myself off of a bridge." I always thought it was funny that he thought like that yet I have witnessed him on several occasions being a complete dick to his fans for whatever reason. That combined with his whole "gotta love each other" peace and tolerance bullshit is just a bit much considering he can't even treat some people like they are human beings. I'm not even talking about myself here, I have had pleasant experiences with him as well as bad but have witnessed way more that weren't anywhere near pleasant. He's a dick, I've always thought so but it never affected my love of his music until that too started to suck.

Anyway, all of this really doesn't matter to me much since like someone else mentioned, it was almost expected that he would do something like this. I kind of get the feeling he hasn't been true friends with the rest of the guys in quite sometime. I'm just happy that the other three are finally able to make the music that they want to make and that I get to hear it and enjoy it.
