I would gladly donate money to the cause and I would gladly pay for an official release even if it was released after I got a bootleg copy but a bootleg only hurts the cause of the charity IF there is an official version that the bootleg is diverting funds from. If there is not an official version there is not an alternative so it's no different than going to the store seeing The Freddie Mercury Tribute on VHS and next to it Queen Live at Wembley and deciding to go with Wembley. It's merely product.
AND what's more...if I couldn't see the broadcast of a charity show for whatever reason and the boot was the only way at least I'm watching the charity show and getting informed of what the charity is for and how I can help...but the onus really is on the producers.
And the wounded skies above say it's much too late

Well, that's because his fans keep throwing that number one in everyone's face. It was a nice thing for Adam and his fans to achieve, but the album fell off the charts in no time. I bet it's one of the fastest dropping number one albums of all time. The album has been out for over a year now and it still hasn't sold what his first one sold in ONE week. Broken record or not, those are the facts.
EDIT: His debut album sold 198,000 copies its first week in the U.S. alone. According to an Adam fan site his GLOBAL sales for Trespassing is around 300,000 copies.

In the sad and desperate attempts to diminish another artist's achievements because of blind hatred, bigotry or whatever reason certain people on this forum use as an excuse, you simply cannot erase the headlines namely his last album debuted at #1 or he was the first openly gay artist to do so. Both are big achievements period. Stamp your feet, dump water on people's heads, do what you like but as you say, facts are facts.

This gay man thinks it was nice for him to have a number one album, but I wish people wouldn't make such a big deal about it. I wish we lived in a world where the headlines didn't feel the need to mention the gay thing.![]()
I'm sure he would rather have had a number three album that sold 2 million copies intstead of a number one album that only sold over 300,000 copies.
The BB position means shit if less people are caring about you.

"First openly gay artist to debut at #1" makes for a nice (and long remembered) headline, more so than it selling two million copies. Both would be nice to have but you can make some hay out of either.
