there is nothing wrong with selling livesets. believe it or not, some people still don't have fast internet connecitons and it's impossible for them to stay abreast of the club music scene hapenings. they are not stupid, they are willing to pay money rather than spend 1-2 weeks downloading those sets night and day.
it is not illegal to share livesets, so why would it be illegal to share the livesets but to also charge money for burning the cd?
and those who report this kind of stuff are just sad sad people.
selling illegal mp3s is a whole different story. |
If it's not illegal (which I'm pretty sure it is), it's always been frowned upon by communities that share taped shows. I used to listen to a lot of Phish, Dead, other jam bands in high school and it was never OK to sell sets. Before the internet became the means of trading, they did B&P (blanks and postage), where you'd send someone blank cassettes and the generous people who taped the set would make you a copy from a DAT tape for free. No money was ever allowed to be exchanged and if you requested money for sets or even offered money rather than send blanks, they'd out you to the whole community and you'd be out of luck getting new material.
The only people who should be allowed to charge for livesets are the artists that created them.
