The Grateful Dead allow(s/ed) fans to freely tape and trade their shows. With the band's endorsement of taping their shows, there's hardly any issues over piracy. The only issues that come up are over making money off the shows. Several trading sites (www.tapetrading.com) were shut down last year over banner advertising issues, but some still remain (www.pauserecord.com).
As a big Deadhead, I can tell you that you're considered a lightweight in the community if you have less than 150 hrs. (100 - 90 min tapes).
Maxell (maker of the perferred XLII tape) would have been out of business a long time ago had it not been for the Grateful Dead. We've kept them in BMW's for years.

Analog tapes != piracy.

Surely you meant to say "justinalexander@usa.net". I don't think the mailto: tag got put into your original justinalexander@usa.net address. But if I was justinalexander@usa.net I'd get mad because I'm sure that putting his email address (justinalexander@usa.net) up on Slashdot will generate a lot of unwanted mail to him (justinalexander@usa.net).
Have a nice day, justinalexander@usa.net
