The Musicals Insider wants your opinion!

Today at the Mystery in Musicals, we're going to try something a little bit different.
We have noticed that on Twitter recently, there has been a lot of talk regarding the ethics of illegally recording live performances, otherwise known as bootlegging or pirating.
A wide range of opinions exist on the matter from many different facets of the industry. For example some performers find it to be highly disrespectful, while others find it helpful in improving their performances or as a memento of their role.
The Musicals Insider wants your view!!
Please Email us your thoughts on the ethicality of bootlegging to MysteriousMusicals@gmail.com. Alternatively you can Direct Message us on twitter at @MusicalsInsider

We understand this can be a very precarious subject, so as such all comments will be published completely anonymously. However in your email, please outline what your position in the industry is, whether you're a die-hard fan, Performer, Usher, Musician, First-time viewer, Broadway tragic etc.

Let the debate begin!
