As much as I admire the sheer guts it took to get this recording, I completely agree with Yeppie's pulling it (pun intended). There's enough legal issues with stuff like this going on I don't think he has a choice given your backstory about the capture method. Also his owning, maintaining and growing this site as he has certainly gives him the right to play God on stuff like this - there really isn't any other site like this out there at all. Enjoy the paradise
Going on someone's private property to record something that otherwise wouldn't be heard from a public place crosses a huge line - and the people there would be justifiably pissed. If the sounds are loud enough to come through the letterbox and you can record from the sidewalk or the street is a whole 'nother story.
I'd even make the argument (although preferably not with a manager or security guard) that hotel corridors are public throughways and anything that gets into them from rooms is fair game. Especially if I'm a guest of the hotel my fee definitely gives me a legal right to walk those paths and if I hear something, why can't I stop and listen? Same goes with common areas and corridors in apartments and condos.
All the neighborhood recordings I've heard here have the similar backstory of either coming through a wall into our member's apartment - or recorded from the member's apartment since the couple's windows were opened at the time.
Listenguys, I think you really have some guts and talent - now knowing where Yeppie and the community are coming from, I'm totally confident that in legitimate circumstances, you'll be able to get a lot of good material.. I certainly hope to hear more of your stuff down the road.
