Band Invites Music Copying

We've done a few experiements: Sitting on a busy
street corner with a cooler full of beer, for free to anyone who would ask for one (no takers!).
Walking around in a busy club district with a foam cup full of coins, saying "spare change?" -- meaning, "please take my spare change!" No takers here either.
