Heres an interesting one though;
What about poorer quality bootlegs of live shows; a good example;
There are shows like the tribute concert where some tracks were overdubbed, sometimes extensively on the official release.
Should we be allowed to share the original tracks from a bootleg out of curiosity?
Some of these boots are nowhere near official quality, but its nice to hear the original sound before dubbing - the chances are, if you want to download the boot, youre probably the type of person who already owns the original - why settle for lower quality when you can have higher?
I can predict some responses to that, and Im fully aware of the legal position, but Im asking "should we be able", not "can we legally".

You can't separate the two questions, they are intertwined. It is illegal, irrespective of whether you feel it should be.

I bet thats what they said in Nazi Germany....
Just cos something is illegal, or for that matter not illegal, doesnt mean you should just accept it as so - until the early 90's it wasnt illegal in England to commit rape within marriage.
Im way off track here anyway. And please dont think Im arguing in favour of something stupid like making all music free to share, cos god knows Im not, lol.
Thought it was an interesting point though, although this probably isnt the place for the discussion.
