This is a shame -- broader exposure means more fans.  At least
two people on this list as Blue Oyster Cult fans said that this
concert made them decide to check out Hawkwind.  If this concert
hadn't been made available, those two new Hawkwind fans would
not be fans.  You converted them into paying customers of your
work by making free music available on the net.  Isn't that a
good thing.

*Any* form of music posted on the net, whether streaming or 
downloadable, can be burned onto disc.  But the quality of
the streaming concert isn't even that of a 128k MP3, is it?
It's not going to be mass-produced by pirates in China or the
like.
