See (again at etree) the list of bands that allow taping: > http://btat.wagnerone.com/search.php?oneClick=1 Don't bands usually sign the copyright on their songs over to an evil record label? If so, the band may allow taping, but distributing those recordings in any way is likely illegal. -- kuno. _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
