Yes. Actually, both. They are at the same location.

I recently got a strange idea... Does anyone can get a "Taormina festivalbar - video compact version were the audience scenes are cutted off? I mean a "just Alizee" cut. It would be like a promo video to air on old Mtv..didn't it?

[Scruffydog777]

I don't remember a promo video. Fall might remember if there was one. There could've been a fan video. It wouldn't be that hard to edit out the fans. Were you thinking of using the audio from the performance?

I'm a really total rookie about editing videos..that's why my request oh AAforum. Looks like full of little "cut" genius out here...

Looking for a higher res version of this picture. I've got everything from this photo shoot except this one, I've tried Bing and Google image search but with no success.

I can't seem to find it either!

It looks like you found this site http://starfile.ru/forum/showthread.php?t=12830

There are a lot of great, hi-res pictures posted on their forum (http://starfile.ru/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=20) but the person who posted them seems adamant on payment. I don't understand why they can't share.

Yep, only place I know of that has this picture in high res. I've heard it's about 4 Euros per picture to get them in full quality.

I doubt the legality of this. The web site owner was not the photographer and does not own the rights to the photos. Alizee should receive a royalty for every sale but she does not. If the pictures of her are at a pubic event, then the photos are public domain, but any private photo shoots, the rights to the photos belong to the photographer and/or Alizee.

Yeah it's sketchy, but unless someone here has the legal knowledge/qualification to crack down on it, or they're willing to pay for someone else to do so, there's not much we can do about it. The only way to fix the situation right now is to buy the photos and share them online so that the site owner can't put them behind a paywall as they'd all be available anyway, bit of a paradox.
Even if the site owner was found to be doing this illegally, they might just take down the site altogether and then we'd have no way of getting the photos at all, unless the owner had a change of heart or was forced to make the photos available but I doubt that.
