this is  a no-brainer. when fans go to their own effort & expense to produce
something for the cause, there are no negatives associated with it. Although
it's only courtesy to at least inform the band of your plans, I guess the
only way you could cause harm would be to directly compete with identical
merchandise that will lose value if you give it away for nothing.
This subject goes to the heart of that "family" feeling or being one of the
space brothers & sisters on the Hawkwind mothership, folks distributing at
shows, works of art that come from the soul.
At the Strange Daze Festivals, there were countless examples of good
unselfish people giving of themselves.
I'm standing on the runway....
