It's ridiculous in the fact that a bootleg of a show has never and will never replace the experience of actually being there at the live show. The artist certainly doesn't lose out, because their gigs are pre-sold prior to any bootleg being made. If there's no intention of releasing an official recording of the show I don't see what the big deal is. And there's absolutely NO song performed at a Meat Loaf concert that hasn't been sung many many times before, which is why I've refused so many bootlegs of his in the past, it's like history repeating.
A couple of years ago Meat Loaf said he was going to sort out some soundboard recordings of shows for the fans, which would completely undermine all forms of bootlegging from a dodgy recording device.
