You either believe that, or you side with the artist and management (you can't really do both).
It's a shame there was not a little more common sence and a little less law. |
However, you can put short clips of recordings you have purchased on your site and remain within the copyright laws Mouse, thus sharing with fellow fans and supporting the artist.
Imo it's the frequently poor quality of illicit recordings made at live performances which upset artists, plus the fact that those who record live shows had no permission to do so, or have acquired what are in effect stolen sound board tapes. Common sense needs to come from both sides
