Unfortunately, however, Powderworkers share this stuff 
(some of which members themselves have recorded),
and this is where it ends up.  Don't want to start a big
flame war here, but I guess when we justify this stuff 
by saying it's ok because nobody pays for it, it still gets
into the wrong hands and thus provides the reasoning for
which I'm sure the band is against the recording of their shows.
I'm not pointing any fingers here, I have one or two bootleg 
recordings (personally I just can't get into them because they
tend to sound so bad), but this debate comes up every so 
often and I think this situation makes me think twice about it.
