Grateful Dead Clarify Stand on Live MP3s 56

Maver1ck writes "Seems things weren't as stange as they appeared last week. The Grateful Dead will, under strict guidelines prohibiting commercial use, still allow free MP3 downloads of live performances taped by fans. They just won't allow banner ads, sales of user data, sponsorship or any other "profit" from the exchange. Law firm press release is at PR Newswire. Still begs the question of paying for all that bandwidth..." Is it wrong to pay S&H to have a friend mail you a tape? Or to send him a couple bucks to cover a blank CD-R to have him burn you a concert? Bandwidth is a bit more expensive than postage though...
