I remember, but it's one thing to try to protect copyrighted material that you're selling, i.e. pirating vs selling CDs. But this thing where they're trying to protect exactly how you're receiving a free stream of their music makes no sense at all. The concert was already free to watch, so why does anyone care?

I’m not sure why people care. I’m not sure why people record, document, bootleg live performances. I have no idea how music works for profit anymore. I’m just sort of calling attention to the historical hatred of this one particular band, even if no one understands it anymore; but it is a thing that exists. I’ve witnessed it.

I think it might be at the heart of the significance of this conversation.

(and I’m only talking about _audio_ recording, I’m not even touching the copyright issues from audio + video)
