“What a short, strange trip it was.” (Aahh, relief.) As this Washington post article describes, “After the Grateful Dead angered some of its biggest fans by asking a nonprofit Web site to halt the free downloading of its concert recordings, the psychedelic jam band changed its mind Wednesday.”
Another vivid example of how community norms mediate the relationship between jambands and their fans. For more on this, see Mark Schultz’s forthcoming paper on Jambands, copyright law, and norms. (I may have mentioned this paper already, but that’s ok because it’s a great paper.)
