I've noticed that bootleg trading is a rather popular practice on this board. But, if as you suggest, Sonic Youth "owns" the music, than aren't these recordings a lack of respect towards the band? I mean, if the band really wanted all of these people who weren't at the concert to hear that music, wouldn't Sonic Youth come into everyone's living rooms and put on a personal show? Shouldn't we be showing some respect and allowing them to "call the shots"?

Yes! You SHOULD show some respect and allow them to call the shots.
They don't mind bootlegs, so they don't express an opposition to them.
They DO mind the downloading of the album before its release, so they say so!
I feel compelled to repeat my earlier post:
SY DOES NOT WANT YOU TO DOWNLOAD THE ALBUM
*Insert: THEY SAID SO
THEY MADE IT, NOT YOU
SO DON'T FUCKING DOWNLOAD IT
YOU IGNORANT DUMBASSES
Am I posting in English? I must not be, because that is the only logical explanation for why these concepts are so difficult to understand.
It isn't about what YOU want. It isn't about your 'rights' as a fan, because frankly, you haven't got any.
Just wait for the goddamned album! CHRIST!
