also there arent many commerical dance stations left in north america if there are any at all. Which is why you will get live to air creamfields in argentina or england but big events here go without broadcast.
But.. hopefully this is changing 
BTW downloading really killed it too. Djs used to not care if clubs recorded their sets so much because it would be difficult to distribute a bootleg. In many cases, bootlegs would actually help their cause. Not so much in the days of downloading where a recording could be transferred around the world within hours. I remember practically every dj that played at industry had a live mix recorded at industry for sale. (with artist consent)
Also the big mix tape raid back in the dark ages (1999-2001) of toronto's dance music scene. They busted Traxx and Play De Record for selling mix tapes by djs. They say the labels wanted something done but many think it was a prohinitionist move to crack down on "rave music" at a time when the city wanted them shut down.
