From www.stringcheseincident.com:
" The String Cheese Incident and SCI Fidelity Records are proud to 
introduce an innovative series of live releases entitled On The Road. 
Barring any technical difficulties or venue restrictions, a three-CD 
recording from each incident along the Spring Cheese 2002 Tour will be 
available for pre-order when you purchase your concert tickets, for 
pre-order at the incident, and for purchase at 
www.stringcheeseincident.com. The On The Road series is an experimental 
project designed to help fill the steady demand for better access to SCI's 
live material. If this idea gets positive feedback from friends and family, 
we may offer something like this along future tours or for eternity. This 
project in no way jeopardizes The String Cheese Incident's long-standing 
policy of allowing individuals to record and trade our live performances. 
In fact, we have and will always encourage people to share their recordings 
and our music worldwide."

I saw this earlier today as well and my take is that this will be more 
similar to what Pearl Jam did than Phish. While Pearl Jam has publicly said 
that they don't care if people trade copies of their live cds, String 
Cheese does not specifically address this issue. So I emailed Jesse Aratow 
at Madison House. If I get an answer, I'll forward it.
