Rowland....thanks for the explanation of the band's file downloading policy. As I said before, it really doesn't affect me much at this point because I don't have a high speed connection. However, if the primary purpose of the policy is to make it more difficult for people to obtain copies of live shows AND to mass distribute them for sale (i.e., bootlegging), I think this policy is just spitting into the wind. If someone wants to bootleg a show, it's easy enough to get a source copy through regular trading channels and then mass copy it. So once again, the band might want to reexamine the policy and reassess its relevancy in the digital download age. While I would love to see something along the lines of the Phish thing, I think $9.95 a show is a bit steep. That's not much less than a commercially released cd, and the production and overhead costs are virtually nil. I'd rather see lower prices (maybe $5 a show), which would lead to greater sales. Thanks for listening.....as always, ymmv.
