Is it o.k. to download Wilco tracks that were never released commercially?


Recommended Posts

I saw mp3's of the two new songs, as well as the Colbert Song, Lets Fight and others. Is it okay to download these?

I am actually saving my moola to buy the cd singles I am missing rather than steal them, so I am not into stealing commercial releases. Does Wilco advocate downloading non commercial stuff. I have bought all of their albums already........

Sorry if this is a stupid question, and thanks!

You probably won't get a straight/definitive answer here.

 

I don't speak for Wilco. However, in my opinion, Wilco wouldn't mind if somebody who buys all the commercial releases downloads new, unreleased material. Their actions in the past have suggested that.

Thanks for the response! What about something like the A.M. demo's then? It's not new stuff.............

Somebody here is going to disagree with me but if you've bought AM, then I don't think personally there is any problem downloading the AM demos. And I think Jeff would agree, although he might not be crazy about demos circulating in the first place.

Thanks. One last question then, what about live tracks or shows?

I say yes, as long as you're not selling them on eBay or something. Since you are asking the question, I'm sure you are not. Pretty much everybody here downloads live material.

 

 

No I'm not, lol. I just don't want the guys in flak jackets kicking down my door. Thanks for all your help.

To quote Wilco's website: "wilco does permit audio taping and trading of live performances wherever it does not conflict with venue or other restrictions beyond our control. we do not allow direct soundboard patches. we also do not allow videotaping. wilco supports the free trading of live recordings for non-commercial purposes.

Aha thanks! Time to collect some live tracks then!
