The band do not allow concerts to be recorded as audio or video, and anyone seen doing so at a show will be asked to stop and the recording confiscated. The band have started to make available high quality live recordings on their own Transmission label, and these are all mixed from properly recorded multitrack tapes. While the band are aware that private tape trading does go on, they will be extremely pissed off to find anyone selling (or auctioning on Ebay) live recordings on CDR or other media for personal profit!!
