Other bands are trying to defeat bootlegging in unique ways. Pearl Jam, for example, has begun releasing double-live albums from every show. Only rabid fans will purchase such records, but only diehard fans buy bootlegs as well. For the artists, it's all about control. Neither policy is right nor wrong, but either way the material that's released is chosen by the performer, not by the performer's fans.
Music wants to be free, it seems, no matter what the creator of that music intends.
