Not yet...and my main client has a shelf full of archived shows on ProTools drives.
The touring record guy used to do a multi usb stick burn at the end of each show and run them up to merch as folks were leaving. The merch guy sold pre-paid wristbands that could be exchanged for a usb stick at the end.

What's the problem? CC 'owns' these venues.
-No other venue lets artists sell merchandise without getting a cut.
-No other venue (if they know what they are doing) allows bands to sell the recording of their show (whether right after the show or later) without getting a cut.
-This doesn't even mention the stagehands cut.

Agreed.
It was always treated as part of the merch deal.
I should have been clearer in saying that we already had this in place so it was just part of our merch sales.
And, yes we paid all the venue/stagehand premiums too.
I find the whole "patent" part a bit of a stretch as lots of folks have been doing this for a while now. But their is always an angle if you have enough money for lawyers.
Happy turkey day!
Charlotte Evans:
Can someone explain what the "stagehands' cut" is? Haven't heard of that.
Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!
