What is DIMEs policy regarding specifications/limitations taper-friendly artists/bands put on their taping/trading permissions?
When an artist does the taper/trader community the courtesy of explicitly allowing some taping and trading of their performances, DIME returns the courtesy by respecting the specifications/limitations that the artist puts on that permission. The policy must be stated explicitly and unequivocally, either on the artist’s own web site or in direct communication to DIME from the artist or his/her/their management. We cannot rely on third-party reports nor on undocumented assertions said to be commonly accepted among the artist’s fans. Unclear language that is open to varying interpretations (as seems to plague many artists’ web sites) will have to be construed as draconically as possible in order to protect DIME.
