"Instant Live" - anyone heard of this compay?

For clarification, of course over the years the Dead have released selected and historical concerts and in doing so one might have to wait 15-30 years for a chance of having a concert they atteded be officially released. It wasn't until 03 that concert tours were made available.

Not sure what or how it was done but it seemed that String Cheese Incident put out a lot of Live CDs right after the shows. Do you know if they used something like InstantLive?

Does the patent that InstantLive has prevent people/bands like Dave Mathews from allowing taping at their shows?

As I said, I'm not a fan of Clear Channel, just the opposite. I've stopped listening to Clear Channel Radio stations because of the restrictive nature of their programming. Of course they're so big I may be listening, watching, reading a clear channel item and not know it.

I'm not sure but if I remember correctly I think they initially used either their own service or disklive until about a year ago when there was a problem with Clear Channel not allowing them to. Intially they planned on not playing at Clear Channel venues but that proved to be a bad idea and a deal was struck with CLear Channel. I'm not sure if they presently use Instant live or their own service.

Most bands that allowed audence taping still do and have not changed the policy regarding this. Instant Live only prevents the band from selling the live show at the venue right after the show at the venue its self.
