In the case of the Blue Mountain gig. You have a band like Underworld who put a lot of work into providing the material for that. Rather than keep it to themselves or release it commercially and make some money off their hard work they gave it out for free.
And now someone else is making money off THEIR hard work? Because they took the trouble of burning it to a CD? Come on. That's pretty messed up.

Word.
And looking at it from a purely selfish point of view, if morons start making money out of stuff given away for free, maybe the band won't want to and/or won't be permitted to give it for free any more, which would be a sorry state of affairs indeed.
