Are DJ Livesets illegal to share online?

I've always believed that DJ livesets including radio rips of shows such as A State of Trance are perfectly legal to share online on programs such as DC++. However, my school is starting to lockdown on filesharing so I am just wondering.. Does anyone know if livesets are truly OK to share? Since livesets contain other people's copyrighted work, do think organizations who don't know about EDM will group all filesharing into the same category of illegal?

they are technically illegal.. but labels and such will have to go through hoops to get you for that

I think it's only legal if the performer gives permission for distribution.
