I don't see much value in adding the ARs at the artist level over the
release level. In general archive.org has very little information about
the artist themselves, and they do not have a full catalog of the
artists' music. archive.org will have a selection of bootleg
recordings, netlabel releases, and/or other freely available releases.
I think just linking from our release to those particular releases in
archive.org is quite sufficient.

archive.org has a lot of freely available music, not all of it are
'authorized bootleg recordings', I don't think that wording should be
used if this AR proposal is accepted.
