If it will irritate, upset or anger him to see a poor bootleg being used as a basis to deliver a negative judgement on his performance, why should we, as people who profess to be his fans, want to do this on a forum dedicated to him, on those threads we can be pretty sure he will read .. let alone see our right to do it as some principle we need to fight for?

This seems like a terrible "compromise" to me. And it is not really a compromise in my opinion, just censorship/ignorance.
I don't own this site so the owners can do all they like and favour whatever opinions are on here and not listen to me and they can ban YT videos from here all they want. I suspect many fans would still simply Google them and forget about MLUKFC in the long run. In my opinion it is not going to gain any fans, perhaps clamped down on arguments if that is favourable. Meat might come back if that is the objective but as a consequence I think some more objective fans will leave/stay away.
There are worse things in life so whatever is the way forward it is fine by me.
