RIGHT ON!

*many* artists allow public trading of their live
shows... heck, some even (secretly) don't mind you
dubbing a copy of their official release if it might
spur on a bigger fanbase.

artists below which have *directly* been positively
influenced by their OPEN TRADING policy:
Grateful Dead, Phish, Martin Medeski & Wood, Dave
Matthews Band, ekoostic hookah, Widespread Panic...
hell... many more...
