Which brings us to another trader's question -- The stuff that went out of print: Is it kosher to copy and distribute that stuff amongst ourselves? It has already seen daylight in a form acceptable to the artist, but cannot be purchased, and is usually of interest to the people from whom that artist is generating income. Since guys like Ribot etc often record for labels that don't last, what do we do about the distribution of THAT material?

Since there seems to be a reissue frenzy afoot, this becomes a less
simple issue. Would labels be as willing to reissue older
recordings (compensating the artists, one hopes) if the tracks were
widely available elsewhere?
Viewed from this perspective, trading out-of-print recordings differs
much less from those still in print -- each has a similar possibility
of affecting artist income.
