At the Forum in Melbourne in February Peter actually went off stage mid song 
to get someone to deal with these two guys who were lifting each other up to 
take photos of him and the band. He was pissed off, and rightly so.  I 
totally agree with the no photo policy at gigs. I will probably get flamed 
for this but when you think about it some people taking photos (not all 
people) can put the image on a t-shirt or anything else for that matter and 
sell it. The money doesnt go to the Oils, it lines that persons pocket and 
they have done nothing, or have made any sacrifices like the Oils have to 
earn that money. Granted there are people taking photos for nostalgic 
reasons but you cant tell the difference, you need a blanket ban.
I am totally for photos back stage, even in the street when you have 
approached the Oils and it is fine with them. Unauthorised live photos just 
arent on!!.
I'll get off my soap box now.

Jane
