[quote]Was there a fuss made when the same Gary Glitter track was used in 'The Joker' movie?

I too have no idea if Gary Glitter was guilty or not. It's a fact that the volume of evidence required for a guilty verdict in some far east legal systems is very small and the accused is assumed to be guilty until proven innocent. Put together with the West's insatiable appetite for scandal and sensationalism, and the money paid to alleged victims, leads me to wonder about the validity of the accusations.

I've shared a bed with a 13 year old boy. If that statement was published in the media, there would be lynch mobs searching for me. They would not wait for the full story, that I was also 13 at the time, and no sex was involved. 
People, and members of the press, do not often want the full story. They prefer only their own edited highlights of the story. The public, in turn, believe whatever crap they are told.[/quote]

I did read Gary Glitter, autobiography titled The Leader. If memory serves me right,there was some dark moments in his childhood that he didn't go into when mentioning. He was certainly holding things back, I wouldn't of been surprised if he was raped as a kid or had pictures taken of him.

I have only read the book the book once when it was published and passed it on soon after. This would been nearly 25- 30 years ago. He was busted a few years later.[/quote]

Yes, he downloaded some 'sick sh***', but do we have any idea how many people were doing the same in those 'Wild West' days of the Internet? I remember around that time I used to download a lot of classical music torrents. The torrent sharer platform had a feature where you could view what else the uploader was sharing, and it was shocking to find quite often that a person sharing recordings of Debussy nocturnes was also sharing some awful sounding porn. Glitter only got caught because of his stupidity in taking his laptop to Dixons. In any case, downloading illegal porn 20 years ago does not warrant locking away somebody effectively for life on dubious accusations. I remember those days with torrents, I used to download soundboard bootlegs. I know what you mean about sharing or feeding other dodgy uploads. I think it was Pirate Bay, where you could talk to other people via DM. Someone asked me if I liked porn and what type. That's what stopped me doing torrents. I have no idea, why people want to see or watch porn.

Nobody knows the truth from the lies about the allegations against GG,but we do know he downloaded lots of sick stuff, and he was totally stupid to put himself in a vulnerable situation in Asia before his arrest in Vietnam. His arrests do not make a difference to how I enjoy his music,and it only seems to be the UK press who object to us hearing it today. NHL, have scrapped his music during hockey games.
