Pfarrell is right, no can do. Copyrighted file sharing is not legal in the States and probably not anywhere else either. Live performances fall into a semi-gray area when the performance is recorded by an individual with premission of the artist for personal or not for profit use. If you are plugged into the mixing board, you have premission, but one could still not have the right to post it to the Archive depending on what one signed to be able to plug into the board. The Archive is a place to post legal live recording for the sole purpose of not for profit sharing. These recording fall into three types. Board direct, band allowed mike setup area, and the poorest quality is the fan with two mikes held above his head. Digitalsoundboard.net http://app1.dsbd.net/dsb/index.jsp is the legal for profit place to pick up high quality live performances right off the soundboard. What I thought of a long time ago was to setup a music storage service like Music Locker but allow anybody paying to store music access to all stored files (listen/read only not able to download). The RIAA said no even though the non-owner of a song could only listen to it and not download it to keep, share, or burn. I have had three personal experencies with the RIAA. Have never been sued by them, but have been told that if I or my band members/friends continued doing what we were doing that they would. It is not a fair thing that one can not even play live ones own published music in the bar that one owns. -- iPhone iPhone Last.FM http://www.lastfm.com/user/mePhone Media Room: Transporter, Vandersteen Quatro Signature, Ayre MX-R Mono Blocks, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, VCC-5 Reference Center Channel, four VSM-1 Signatures, Runco 710, RAM Oppo DV970HD, VeraStarr 6.4SE Living Room: SqueezeBox Duet, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold Bedroom: Squeezebox 3, Thiel 2.3, NAD C370 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46640 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
