can basement tapes be in deep web?

Yesterday I was watching a video about deep web and dark net. Tbh, what i learned from that video made me have chills, even though I study true crime and seen lots of things. It's a very eerie place. Anyway, it gave me a question about the basement tapes that obviously is not in clear web.
Anyway, so does anyone think that could basement tapes be in deep web or someone could sell it in dark web? Has anyone been in one of these places and looked for basement tapes?

If the basement tapes were on the deep web, we would already know about them by now and people would be sharing them here.

I would like that tapes existed on deep web. We could have a chance someone distribute 'em for watch.

Unfortunately I doubt that. It would be big news if the tapes were ever somehow leaked on the internet. I don’t think anyone except for law enforcement and the victim’s families were ever able to see them.

Probably not, I don't see a disgruntled FBI agent or whomever leaking them. Whether they're destroyed or not as Jefferson County suggests, they've done a solid job convincing people of their inaccessible release.

Time to put on the diving suit and explore the depths of the deep web! If you feel me tugging at the internet cord reel me back up boys.

I think some people from the press were also able to watch them. But I'm fairly certain that Randy Brown either had or still has at least part of them.
In the Brown interview with FHM in 2004, the author writes "As if more evidence were needed, he [Randy] puts on a video Eric and Dylan made some months before the massacre. It shows them, faces contorted with anger, cursing the bullies who had tormented them and the teachers who allowed it to happen. "More rage, more rage! Keep building it on!" Spits Eric, eyes burning through the television screen. "You've been giving us shit for years, I'm going to kill you all!"

It's possible that the author of the article lied about this and just inserted text from the basement tape transcripts to try to make for a better article, but I believe that Randy actually showed them this video.

I'm positive they've been destroyed.

The basement tapes were made at a time when AOL was cool. Nuff said.

The originals were definitely destroyed, but the FBI has copies of the tapes (I believe) and if that news story is true, then other people related to Columbine like Brooks Brown have copies too. I don't believe the deep web was as expansive back then as it is now, considering it was 1999, so I doubt it was ever posted there. The only way I could see it being released is if some federal agent decides to leak it on the internet like one officer did with the photo of Asa Coon's dead body. That is unlikely to happen though.

I have been told that Randy Brown does not have them.

I'm going to say no. They've probably been destroyed and if there are copies they are probably VHS and locked up somewhere.

Whether Randy has the Tapes is an open question.

A better question is whether Darrell Scott has the full audio recordings of the Tapes.

As we know, Scott played a thirty second audio clip at a press conference on December 20, 1999.

This is the famous "What Would I Do?" segment.



Text of Audio Clip

Eric: "The two girls sitting next to you probably want you to shut the fuck up too."

Dylan: "Jesus, you're on a roll."

Eric: "Rachel and Jen and whatever the fuck the girl..."

Dylan: "I don't like you, you fucking ungrateful shit. You're stuck up little bitches. You're fucking little fucking Christian godly little whores."

Eric: "Yeah 'I love Jesus', shut the fuck up."

Dylan: "What would Jesus do? What would I do?"

Eric: "I would shoot you in your little pussy head! Go Romans! Thank God they fucking crucified that asshole."

Scott recorded this clip at the December 12, 1999 screening held for family members of victims. So, unless he had already previously seen the Tapes or had a heads up that "Rachel" would be mentioned, then it only stands to reason that Scott recorded the Tapes in their entirety.

So, does Scott have the Tapes?

Somehow, I think if he had them we would already hear Brooks or someone else brag about it.

Can he have some illegal audio that families recorded during the screening? Maybe, that's where Scotts got theirs. But actual video? Heck no.

He does have more audio than he presented. How much more and if its the whole thing? I dunno, I doubt it is the whole thing.

My speculation would be that Randy did not anticipate just how much footage they made, so he ran out of tape before they got through the whole footage. These were 90s recorders remember.

It was either from Randy's book or I read it here somewhere. I believe it was stated during the showing of the tapes they could ask to stop and rewind. So maybe that is what Scott did and maybe that's actually the only clip he has. Maybe. Can only speculate.

Sororityalpha emailed the author of the article i shared above and they confirmed that what they wrote was true. The article is evidence of "hearing about it".
I imagine one of the conditions of having video would be that he wouldn't be allowed to say he had it. And i imagine he would be harassed to release it if he said outright that he had it. So i can see why he wouldn't want to brag about it.
I think the Browns are capable of having items without releasing them or bragging that they have it. There's definitely photos of Dylan they haven't shared, although that's not quite comparable to the basement tapes. The article is old too. If he was given a copy or had some clips, he could have been ordered to destroy it when the rest of them were destroyed.

Is it confirmed that's how Scott got his? Or could they have allowed him to record it?

"Sororityalpha emailed the author of the article i shared above and they confirmed that what they wrote was true".

That is interesting.
