" You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been spoon-fed baby food at school when we hungered for steak... the bits of meat that you did let slip
through were pre-chewed and tasteless. We've been dominated by sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to teach found us will-
ing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert."

livesets arent legal in the first place, so to some extent its just like selling drugs. Therefore no, its not legal.

If you listen to radio... tape it and sell it? is that legal. the ad's on there are getting free advertising that they didn't pay the buyer of the radio rip...
what about streaming audio.. i rip 128kb streams off the net... i don't sell them though... but are they illegal as well?

if you rip/download and sell live sets you are scamming the individual track artists, who ought to receive royalties for each copy of his/her/their work sold.
on official compilation cds or albums, each track artist gets a cut of the sales or a previously agreed lump sum.
you are also ripping off the dj, whose name and work you are selling. again, if a compilation mixed by a top dj is released, they will get paid for it!
basically by ripping/downloading and selling live sets you are committing piracy - bypassing all the licensing costs to make pure profit excepting production/media costs.
