The Grateful Dead cracked a recorded music shell by allowing fans to tape their shows. Addresses were traded in parking lots and new friends mailed bootleg recordings to each other via the USPS. In 1971 a call for all freaks to unite was added into the liner notes of a dead album, and through physical mailings, concerts, paper, typewriters, etc- a movement formed.
The band went so far as to reserve special “taper sections” at shows so fans could place mics near the FOH (for ideal sound quality) and dancers would not collide with mic stands. By providing fans with an inclusive and exceptional experience The Dead lead a movement. This revolutionary idea is now a day to day idea as we all embrace services like UStream, eTree, Archive.org, etc.
In a spirit similar to the Grateful Dead, PANDA! (Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad) has begun giving away their music and wav files to songs under the Creative Commons License. The Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike license gives others a clear path to remix, tweak, and build upon the bands work non-commercially, as long as they credit the group and license their new creations under the identical terms.
What does that mean? PANDA! has made their high quality audio files available as free downloads and encouraged the mixing, remixing, dubbing, etc of the song. This is inclusive and exceptional.
