Which Artists Support Music Swapping?

jtauber asks: "With RIAA's new campaign to 'educate' people that unauthorized downloads of music are illegal and with the range of artists who are endorsing the campaign, I thought it would be interesting to ask the question: which well-known artists (if any) go against the RIAA and are _in favour_ of music swapping? Certainly many unsigned bands like my own encourage it, but what about those signed with major record labels?" We did a question along a similar veign not too long ago, except its focus was non-RIAA Record Labels. What artists are you aware of (popular or not) who have come out in favor of music-swapping?

There are a ton of bands that allow taping their live shows, and then encourage fans to trade those recordings. This includes bands like:

• Phish
• Grateful Dead
• Tenacious D
• Oysterhead

and so on. There are several communities that can help you get lossless versions of shows from these bands and others:

• www.etree.org
• www.furthurnet.com
