BUT all good bands like UW let us do that (in certain borders) because they know that eventually it will pay back (new fans...).
Best example: 8 years ago I was exposed to Underworld by an illegal mixtape from my father (guess what song was on it...). I was deeply impressed by that song but I didn't care yet. Then some friend of his burned me an illegal copy of Everything, Everything. I began to search for the internet for Underworld and found the Bootleg Babies. Then I was hooked. That's when I started collecting.
So here's my plan:
1) Get permission from UW and liveherenow
2) Vote for tracks and mix them all together
3) Spread that compilation
4) Watch joyfully as people turn into UW fans and buy all their stuff

thats a long post to be simply rebuked by saying NONE OF THOSE OTHER BOOTLEGS WERE FOR SALE.
first one was technically illegal, and even more
technically so because no profit was made from them. they were never put up for sale, never sold, and never distributed as the liveherenow recordings have been
so that's quite a difference and explains why liveherenow are a big no-no on the rtsr circuit.
so no, liveherenow recordings would not be acceptable in any way. the idea of getting permission is preposterous, as permission was never given out even for the recordings that were recorded by fans and excellently compiled. the idea that this might happen for purchaseable items just for fan service is pretty absurd.
besides, let's make this interesting.
