I think official fan clubs are complete and utter rip-offs. Your spot on. That's why I'm not a member. But if i was a paid member of DDM i would be well pissed that people are getting access to something which is supposed to be exclusive to that site. Exclusive is a bit of a misnomer...as long as you have fans and fan boards, nothing remains exclusive. The paying members can beeaatch about that and they are entitled to...but they're not being real if they expect the exclusivity to remain in there. I'd never pay to join DDM...the fan boards and rest of the internet are usually spot on with the latest info anyway.

In most ways I don't care if non-members hear katy's kafe, because this stuff always gets leaked around anyway.
I'm mostly a member for first dibs on the best available tickets.

Now THAT is a better way of stating it, and maybe Randal is a paying member and that's why he's pissed. Even if so, he could still have worded it better...instead he just comes across as a pissed off know-it-all on pretty much every post.

Agreed about the members being upset part. I'm on the fence when it comes to DDM (meaning, I don't quite think its a rip off but there is probably a lot more that it could be doing). HOWEVER, its hard for them to do "exclusive" content when there are people ON the site that seem to be more than willing to share content with non-members. Then, of course, you got non-members asking for content they know is exclusive to that site, because its been shared in the past, so they almost expect it to stay that way. What to do? Seems like a topic for another thread, actually. Agreed. A very worthy topic for debate, especially when put as you did above.

I'm a member but only really did it for any possible special offers and hopefully priority tickets. Personally i'm not fussed that stuff gets leaked from there to other fans. Stuff like the Kafe audios I think is nice for everyone to hear.

If the new single was Exclusive to DDM and everyone on DDBProboards had it I really don't think the people over at DDM would care one way or the other. I am pretty sure they are as human as we are. Keywords: pretty sure.

What about the contests, the new site, VIP and all that goes with that? You cannot "leak" those.
