| wow, never read that before... interesting.
anyway, bt was initially created to facilitate trading of taped shows, legally. despite what some people think, many bands allow their shows to be recorded, and don't care if the recording is shared.. As long as nobody's SELLING them and trying to make a buck off of what should be TRADED, it's all good. Other bands, however, do wish to SELL their own shows, and often produce a high quality soundboard recording that's been professionally mixed... I've bought a few, and they're well worth the money for FLAC's...
from what I read, he had a friend who was an avid taper and wanted an good way to distribute these sets to people. to share it easily, and not have servers explode under the load of a billion hippies all wanting to download the previous night's set in lossless audio...
so, that's what I heard. A noble cause really, and the technology happened to get picked up by more and more people with less noble ideas in mind for its use... |
