You're in the minority on that one. If the majority of the people who tape shows would be upset about this kind of thing, then places like Dimeadozen wouldn't still be having hundreds of new shows posted every day.
Again, a false assumption. You can't possible tell if I'm in the minority simply because you (and I) have no hard numbers (facts) on how many people decide to NOT share their tapes. It's just a guess.
If you look at the facts, we are not talking about hundreds of new shows that surface daily.
At dime a dozen for example, you'll see that within the last 24 hours only 13 shows from 2015 have been shared. Only 1 video ( a pro shot), 1 webcast, 1 radioshow. That means 10 new audience audio recordings surfaced in 1 day. Mostly relatively unknown acts (for most people). No audience video recordings.
Also, most things that get shared on dime have been in trading circles some time before they eventually get shared. Most dime shares are older audience audio recordings that have been doing their rounds in trading circles for some time before they get shared eventually. Again, mostly audience audio only.

(Stealth audio + video is still not being shared much. Tapehead2 was an exception with her amazing work (her Roger Waters - The Wall blurays are fantastic, you should check it out). Believe me, I know quite a lot of tapers who think exactly the same as I do about this. Especially if they do audio + video at the same time. )
