Christmas Fantasy Soundtrack

[snowsbeau]

I have a condensed version of the Christmas Fantasy parade soundtrack. I am aware that Disney does not offer the parade soundtracks in full as a rule but I was wondering if any knows where that entire soundtrack can be found if you know what I mean. WWKK!
I'm talking the full 15 minutes plus soundtrack that accompanies the parade in the park. There has to be someone out there that has bootlegged this at some point from the entertainment department at the park.

Hate to rain on your parade... But I need to explain the sound of crickets chirping you are going to hear on this subject. If anyone put a direct link up here to an unauthorized copy of Disney Copyright show soundtrack or ride element sound, the Moderators would take it right back down again.

Probably in fear of retaliation by the Mouse, and I don't blame them - Disney has several high powered lawyers on retainer to "take care of" these problems, and they can can break you financially defending yourself against a copyright suit without even working up a sweat.

Google up "SLAPP Suit", and the news stories where the RIAA sends you a letter: "We know you are guilty, we have the computer logs where you downloaded ten songs. Pay us a $5,000 "fine" and we'll go away - or we can sue you for $1 Million, and we'll win."

And one of the principals of this site is also a record producer as a Day Job (and there may be others in similar positions) and getting Blackballed by the industry makes it very hard to get work...

You'll have to look around on your own. It's silly to suppress the files and tracks, because the ride sound elements and show soundtracks are generally not available for sale - they only have talent clearance for use inside the rides and on the shows they were recorded for.

It was a big mess for Disney to get the copyright clearances for the older "Disneyland Forever" and "Walt Disney World Forever" tracks that were available on custom-burned CD's at kiosks inside the parks. Same thing for early movie contracts, they never foresaw retail sales on Tape or DVD. That's how Peggy Lee kept Disney from releasing "Lady and the Tramp" on Home Video for decades - She never sold the retail rights, and was holding it up for a larger payout than the pittance originally offered.

The sound you are looking for might show up in the alt.binaries.* hierarchy groups in Usenet News (the precursor to 'Anonymous FTP file sharing') like news:alt.binaries.multimedia.disney or news:alt.binaries.multimedia.disney.parks , but frankly I've never gone looking for it.

But BE VERY CAREFUL if you try any peer-to-peer file share sources, they tend to have nasty-ware mixed in - there are some sick people out there. Some of which could even come from the record companies, but of course they would cover their tracks thoroughly.
