Speaking of bootlegs, whats the bands stance on live recordings and tape trading?
The band’s stance on live recordings has traditionally been to look the other way. As long as nobody is making a profit off of their work (ie: trading), the band and management don’t seem to have a problem with it. However, as the sale of live recordings has increased and become more flagrant (with the rise of the internet and eBay), Warner Bros. in particular has started to notice & shut down such activity when they can. There has been some concern that the sale & and easy download of bootlegs on the internet will interfere with possible future official live releases by Mr. Bungle, and the re-release of older demos & other material (Warner Bros. fears that there may no longer be enough of a market for it).
