(Sorry I chopped out the rest of your post, Mike; very informative. Thanks)

By the way, Metallica has always (until now) condoned bootlegging of it's
gigs too. I can't remember what it's called, but there is at least one
collection of video bootlegs gathered up by the band and released
comercially. They also supported taping records, and CDs. The problem is
with 100% perfect digital reproduction.
