There is a very real and strong possibility that it could lead to the downfall of legitimate taping. In the beginning, taping Phish shows was a great way to get their music heard by many ears and to earn them the live recognition for which they're now known. We have enjoyed this like fans of only a few other bands, in that a great concert experience can be relived time and time again. The taping network as it is now provides those willing to do a little work, access to any Phish show recently, and many older shows. The .net has allowed many trees to be run and many trades to be set up so this great music can be enjoy by all. Phish is unique in that every time a song is played it is a new experience. Phish is at a point now that they are a business. The band and their following has grown faster than information about legit taping, and the bootleg discs can spread. ... As far as Phish needing tapers, that's a lie. They're huge now and will continue to grow by word of mouth and album sales. People involved in taping and trading are now a small percentage of people involved in seeing the band. Its extremely kind of them to allow it to continue like this, and I think that we should all try and repay that by doing what we can to curb the sale and purchase of bootleg discs.
