None of the current band members or the heirs to the vault(both GD and JGB) seem to give a loaf about Jer's opinions of tapers and taping. In addition, I believe Jerome was specifically referring to audience captures of the band's concerts. Not SBD's or SBD patches or MATRIX jobs.
Every time I read Jerry's noble(and out-dated) stance on taping, my brain refuses to ignore that 10,000# pink elephant.

Some established artists are alive today, some are playing now, many have played in several bands, and some have passed away. I met many musicians. I have been a fly on the wall countless times. I never met a musician who didn't have tapes. My desire is to make sure all this live music content gets archived, and becomes undeletable - regardless of circulation and legal issues - including photos, films, and video tapes. Studio projects and commercial material are a separate matter.
The way things are setup around here on The Archive, all the artists and bands get to control everything - ALL THE TIME. That's the way it should be. The Lee's tapes are in deteriorating condition. They are also proprietary property. These tapes are the most complicated live music collection I've ever seen mentioned on The Archive. It's easy for me to cheer-lead from the sidelines.

I believe this is precisely the goals of the IA and why we have this place. It is also why many of us get pissed when discussions of how to circumvent the artists wishes pop up as the artists can ultimately decide not to allow such a public archive of their material.
Monte, I think you laid out a great explanation for why this is such a difficult and evolving issue. You can cheerlead all you want, but I would much rather see posts like this than rehashing of that Jerry quote which imo has become more of a chiche than something of substance. Great post.
