thanks and thanks again - I really appreciate the thought that went into the download. While I would much prefer something physical, this is something that shows MPL is not another uncaring invisible enterprise and speaks well of PM's regard for his fans

RE: A Big Thank You From PaulMcCartney.com
While I have not yet recieved any notificationre a download i do not want (Kisses); I feel compelled to point out that the lack of communication from MPL gets worse. Tell us the whole shebang. What will recent purchasers of premium memberships receive in fair compensation? When people have disputes, and one offers another something in recompense (download); that can be argued to have ended the entire dispute. Its called "accord and satisfaction" iow, hey, you accepted the download knowing there was a controversy, sorry, thats all she wrote. Be careful in what you accept here. Why on earth should I be discussing legal principles on a Paul McCartney fan board? MPL knew they were going to end premium membership, did they just decide to give a download in compensation and not tell anyone?

RE: A Big Thank You From PaulMcCartney.com
Hello Today is Nov 6, 2012 and deafening silence continues from the MPL, Inc. powers that be. I am posting regarding the $50.00 i sent in response to their offer of a premium membership, not three months ago. No membership material of any kind and now access to the site is defunct. I have posted before that i couldn't believe Paul Mccartney would simply take my hard earned money and walk away, but its beginning to look that way. Many here have said that Paul must not know about this. But it is his responsibility to know - its his good name thats at stake. the only thing that will make this right is a selection of packages (t-shirt, guitar picks, posters, cds that a die hard fan would want, lithograph, vinyl, book, something like the Ram deluxe issue). Or make the package even better, charge more money and provide a $50.00 credit. What would happen at a PM concert if i were to lean over the merchandise table, grab $50.00 worth and simply walk away? Whats the difference here? I have decided I am not going to walk away. Its the principle and the money. every day that goes by without any type of announcement is another insult. This is not something "unfortunate" - its illegal. I just wanted to be a fan, not get into the "Sue me, Sue You Blues". God bless Paul McCartney and thanks for all the wonderful music and joy he and his friends have brought into my life. I have to keep believing that love and truth are not just lyrics in his songs.

RE: A Big Thank You From PaulMcCartney.com
Hello again to all As one of those who joined the premium membership very recently, I would like to point out that we (or at least I) received nothing in the way of t-shirt, lithograph etc. As the decision to terminate the premium membership wasn't made in a vacuum, there either had to be a decision to (a) honor the premium members with something of equal value or (b) not to do so. I simply cannot believe that Paul McCartney would tolerate the latter. I've got a framed picture of the man on my wall, for goodness sake. I understand that MPL is a large outfit, but this is more than a bit much. I'm not rich, I'm just a McCartney fan - and one way to delineate the die hard fan is by looking at who would spring for such a membership. I would appreciate Sir Paul making a brief statement and appropriate amends to those who truly love his music and what he stands for in the end - love and truth.

I have to agree on the t-shirt. When I got it I thought, what.. that's all they could think of to put on the shirt? really? not even a photo? or something? The litho was kind of blah, also agreed. I already watched Live Kisses, on itunes live. So yeah I don't need to download it, although I did enjoy it.

This whole situation is disgusting. Premium members should be refunded immediately. All we got for our money was a lousy T shirt, lithograph and guitar picks. And now we are being fobbed off by some sort of 'goodie' bag? Keep your free download of Live Kisses. We should be given free DVD/Blu Ray copies AT LEAST. Shame on you MPL. The biggest McCartney rip off to date.
I have to think that an artist of Paul McCartney's stature is not going to ignore this. "T shirt, lithograph and guitar picks"? i paid for a premium membership not three months ago and didn't even get those things. The website at the time was the best I have ever seen - the content was marvelous. But please do not insult me with a "free download" of Live Kisses. I will wait a reasonable period before i say anything else, but this is not going away. Its not just the legality of it, its the principle. Over my lifetime, Sir Paul and his mates usually gave you more than your money's worth. But that does not justify this action. Looking for you to state your point of view.

Hello to all I am one of those who still has his original 45 of "she loves you", who stood in line with the rest 5 x over the years for tickets to shows, bought each album as they were released etc etc . I went for the $50.00 premium membership three months ago (a year's membership) and now nothing. this isn't the way paul mccartney works; what gives? Please don't patronize me with a "bag of goodies". I would like what i paid for please.

Will we be receiving refunds? I did not get an entire year of membership
Nor me,what a waste of time frankly the premium membership was just that,a choice to pay for content that others could also access for a fee it just doesn't ad up why they've suddenly decided to change it now.
