Sorry folks - I realize this is a stupid question, but feel compelled to ask anyway: the audio torrent seeding policy says that "Webcast rips and Digital Satellite Broadcasts are not permitted on The Traders' Den. At the current time, webcasts and digital satellite radio broadcasts (such as xm radio) are not held to any reasonable quality standards. "

So, is a recording with the following lineage "legal" to share on TTD? (I didn't capture this myself - would just be re-seeding it).


Broadcast: 'Canada Live' on CBC Radio Two
Source: MPEG II, Layer 1 (192 kb/s, 48 kHz, stereo)
Lineage: L-Band broadcast > DAB receiver > HD @ 48 kHz > edit + downsample to 44.1 kNz > flac(lvl8)

Allowed on Dime but please leave it as it is and add a separate cue file (so I do). It's a nonsense to re-encode and down sample it to wav/aiff and then to flac as it increase file size x2. Here you have example (http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=669020&filelist=1#filelist).
