All these bootlegs of classic concerts, amazing sound quality for streaming audio, and a nice site to navigate.

Seems cool, but I have to say I'm disappointed in the selection. I found a few things that I probably wouldn't mind listening to, but not a single thing I set out to look for. And no, I wasn't looking for obscure metal shit. =P

You know, I think I heard about this guy a couple weeks on NPR ago because he's getting sued by a lot of the musicans who actually performed this music and stuff. Funny thing is, I think I'm in agreement with the musicians here. He bought all this stuff from some old record producer. The way I It was simply the collection of stuff, not the rights to show it off or copy and sell it. It was compared to going into a music store, buying some shirts and CDs and then claiming you had the right to copy the stuff and sell it for profit. The only difference is that a lot of the stuff was extremely rare so almost no one had seen it since it was locked in a warehouse for years.

According to him (http://forums.wolfgangsvault.com/forums/thread/6973.aspx), he's paying for a lot more than personal listening.

I wonder if anyone actually bothered to check if the seller really had the rights to this sort of thing to begin with as I imagine if that's the sticking point.
