The Ethics of Stream Rips

You can listen to 3 minutes worth of previews on iTunes. Is that not enough to decide?

Careful Bang, you are a bit conflicted on this issue, i.e., you are getting a commission from the sales.

My understanding is that the proceeds of the affiliation go towards the running of this site. Also, Rick has overseen the additional production of the tracks that go to the iTunes Festival EP rather than the straight audio from TV/stream.

Firstly I'd love a rip of the VIDEO from the iTunes gig, never mind the audio, seeing Always Loved a Film on youtube just makes me want the rest! But I'm still up to the eyeballs in legit Underworld media whenever I can buy the stuff, so I guess the fans-bootlegging thing applies here too..

Secondly, I bootlegged, direct to PCM WAV from Radio 1 on Sky Digital, Underworld Live @ Maida Vale on the John Peel show in Dec 2003... And still have it :-)

In fact I listened to some of it in the car on the way to work this morning, having later mp3'd it
