> However, I do notice that for more uncommon music, the record industry sort it just looks the other way. For example Eminem has tons of really old music on YouTube that I’m sure his lawyers could figure out how to get taken down. But it just stays up. Or artists that have seen the merit in tolerating it/somewhat encouraging it. I'm a pretty hardcore Nine Inch Nails fan (seen >30 shows). NINLive.com is a fantastic (…

NIN had a messy breakup with their original manager about 15 years into things. Once Trent Reznor emerged as more or less a free agent, he embraced radical approaches to distributing music and other media. The instrumental album "Ghosts I-IV" was released under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license, and the music went everywhere - and you can draw a line directly from that choice to the Oscar for the score for The Soci…

I thought he uploaded to Oink as the rumor went. Maybe there's rumors about both :D

"Record All The Things." Unless you use a crappy smartphone with a bright annoying screen ..

Somebody whipped out a freakin iPad and started recording video in front of me once. Like wtf

I hope you told them to stop. I always do. And that's not out of any copy infringement morals or anything, but of course out of a personal enjoyment infringement. ;-)

I get this. At the same time, people want to capture something real while they’re there. Feels like a trade-off.

Yeah, I get that :) But at the same time, it’s interesting how people react differently. Some want the moment only for themselves, others want to capture it.

The National put out a official 'bootleg' recording of two nights of concerts using the Mike "the Mike" Millard method, called Juicy Sonic Magic[0]. Only physically released on triple cassette though I think you can stream it. Sort of tangential to this conversation but it really captures the energy of a live show in a completely different way. Highly recommend checking out if you're a fan of the band, old bootleg recording techniques, or live recordings in general.

Nope. By disturbing all the people around you with a bright screen, you prevent them from capturing the real concert right now they want to see without a flickering screen in front of them.

And personally I can record, or enjoy the real moment. But most people who record with their crappy smartphones probably just want to get the virtual recognition after they shared their videos, they were there, "like", great. But no one I know, actually watches shaky crappy smartphone concert recordings.

That's incorrect. In British slang it means a customer/patron. In this context a fan/concertgoer (Source: I'm British)

I've only heard it in a gambling context which is why I was confused. I was briefly on a UK gambling platform and they referred to themselves as punters.

The term is used for gambling customers. As opposed to bookies who are professionals who take the bets.

Never heard of that usage (I'm also British).

could it be a cockney thing ?

I've also not heard it, also a Brit. Dunno what the source is of someone saying there's no punt?
