Re: Policy For Live 8 Material on The Traders Den

Not meaning to be obnoxious, but isn't the broacast recording of the material a fundamentally different source than the one they would use for the commercial DVD release? The audio for that release would be directly from the soundboard, rather than from the broadcast. Besides which, isn't there at least one satellite in between the BBC and the local cable distributor from which the recording was made? And maybe one more between the venue and the BBC?

I don't really know anything about British copyright laws, but the established precedent in the US is that if it goes out over the air, you can record it.

Please enlighten me if I am cornfused...
