I understand there can be no posting regarding illegal file-sharing and that sort of thing but in posting my vote for "Cowboy Junkies" in the One Band for the Rest of Your Life thread I later tooled around the web and found that the Cowboy Junkies fully supports downloading many of their concerts from approved sites in FLAC format. I would have liked to post a few links but held off for now.
I also know my brother back East downloads torrents (I think in FLAC format) from bands that authorize this sort of thing for their live performances. Had I posted links to approved music, would I be violating 2+2 posting guidelines? And yes I read the Terms and Conditions and many of the sticky links in forums but this doesn't seem clear. I'll post a sample below this post from a Cowboy Junkies approved site. BTW, the latest Winamp plays FLAC files (FLAC is a lossless format that compresses a .waw file about by half. Using other software you can get back to the .waw file with no loss or degradation. ~ Rick |

[/ QUOTE ] This site links directly from the Comboy Junkies main site and has tons of live recordings of songs for free in FLAC Format. Right now I can't figure out how to post links directly to individual songs but with the Junkies just about everything is good (IMO of course). Have I violated 2+2 posting guidelines? ~ Rick PS Once again, the latest Winamp will play Flac where iTunes won't. |

the problem with authorized content in such a generally non-authorized field is that it puts an implicit burden on moderators to investigate the authenticity of links.

My guess is its not allowed. In addition to "no illegal file sharing", there is also a "no torrent" policy. While you're probably not breaking any copyright laws, 2+2 has a stricter policy about copyright than the law requires.
But to get the real answer, crosspost in ATF. The Admins read that forum and its more on topic over there. |

Ed,
I'm on vacation. Mom's doing most of the cooking. And I've come to the sad realization that it took me like 1.5 years and suddenly I'm a much better cook than my mom. |
