Having had a good look through this thread, I haven't seen many, if any complaining that Underworld are the problem here.
The CDs were released. They're absolutely unattainable except through people profiteering on eBay. There are some people out in the ether who have copies or mp3s of these discs.
Underworld would not, under any circumstances, lose out if these were made available for download; the only people interested in downloading the live sets are exactly the same people who would rush out and buy them were they made available in the shops.
Not that long ago, the community here would have simply made sure that the love was spread. Making sure that stuff like this is readily available instantly devalues the eBay auctions and undermines those who would horde and resell for profit or sell bootlegs. It's a win-win situation for band and fans alike.

absolutely 100% right on the money.
i just want to hear this fantastic set. i dont give a damn about the actual official hard copy. ive never cared about the hard copy where bootlegs are concerned. its not a question of waiting patiently and/or being greedy either. its about wanting to hear music by the band we all love. if there had been a mention that it would be available at some point on UWlive then sure, we'd all happily await it. but guess what, zero mention. so some fans come to the official forums to seek it out. its not that hard to understand really.
the japanese fans would still be left with something special (hardcopy) while the rest of the fans around would be left with something special of their own... the music.
and i agree, goldfish, there are probably people on these forums that have it in both mp3 and cd format. its much easier to say 'be patient' when you have full access to it. :P
