My question is would boot leg recordings of concerts be categorized a long with pirate dubbing? I can remember when I received my first boot leg tape in the eighth grade of a Led Zeppelin concert from the early 1970s. In most cases though it might be illegal, I had always thought that people swapped boot legs of shows rather than paying for them. It was part of the fan base frenzy.
Though I’ve only had limited exposure to podcasts I find the concept fascinating. It seems like a great way for up and coming bands to gain exposure to the masses and use digital technology to market themselves. It sounds as though a lot is riding on the success of PodShow Inc. since $9 million has been invested in it from the same venture capital companies who invested in Yahoo and Google.
One “factoid” worth remembering is for a record to go platinum either 1 million albums or 2 million singles have to be sold.
