Since (generally) audience recordings are inferior to soundboard recordings (especially matrix soundboards, which is what the cheese plan to sell), I'd imagine they're going to allow people to continue to trade audience recordings of whatever they want. Then if a person wants a superior copy (say of a show they attended) then they can feel free to pay to upgrade to a SBD matrix. I highly doubt they would encourage people to trade these releases. This makes far more sense than Phish's policy, which forbids the trading of even audience recordings once a show has been released in full or in part. I think we should be allowed to trade audience recordings of, for example, 3-1-97, seeing as phish didn't release the whole show anyway. And this business of not being allowed to trade electronically but mail trade is permissable sounds like a landmine of a loop hole that will eventually be clarified/closed.
