Just something i've been thinking about a bit...

While I'm sitting here downloading a Megadeth concert from japan last month, a weird thought entered my mind. We all know that downloading studio albums and such is "illegal", but what about bootlegs of live performances?

dude also sitting here DLing that live performance as well, I wonder the same thing. But this would be on the ass of the guy who somehow got the copy or as in the guy who fucking recorded the show in general ya know

 

[monkeystyle]

Isn't this one of those two wrongs make a right type thing?

Aye... If you shit in the woods it doesn't make a sound. :shifty:


Bootlegs are illegal full stop. Downloaded or otherwise. The artists and/or lables generally own the 'publishing' rights to the songs AND the studio recordings.

I was wondering who gave you the douche-y red rep so I looked and find myself unsurprised.

As previously said... "recordings AND the songs"

...'The song' is the piece of music the band are playing at said gig and is subject to the same publishing and copywrite laws.
