grateful dead and mp3 (Score 1)

What? The logic here escapes me. The Dead have allowed their concerts to be recorded and traded by fans. End of story. Tape, vinyl, mp3, wav, etc... are formats, and only formats for the distribution and trading of this music. Any artists that alllows their music to be recorded and traded and then argues against the format in which it is traded is a fool.

The bigger question (IMO) is why people are so fascinated by the Grateful Dead? Boring, boring, boring. But i don't indulge in drugs, so that may explain it.
