I'm sure you're right - he has a very relaxed attitude to fans sharing his stuff.
I found the following quote interesting, from a recent court case brought by Jimmy Page against someone making a sh*tload of money from selling bootlegs. Page said:
"The legitimate part is where fans trade music, but once you start packaging it up and you do not know what you are getting, you are breaking the rules, legally, and morally,"
What Meat's position on this is I don't know. I fully understand why anyone running a forum would want a blanket rule disallowing the sharing of bootlegs.
