Candlebox official taping policy | Official Candlebox web site

UPDATED MARCH 13, 2009
Audience taping is permitted at all shows, whether audio or video. Candlebox believes that the taping and proliferation of such live recordings promotes fan interaction and is an invaluable grassroots marketing tool.

There are, however, a few simple guidelines that the band insists be followed. With responsible recording, use, and distribution, fans will continue to enjoy the privilege of taping Candlebox live performances. These guidelines are as follows:

When Candlebox opens for a band or plays in a venue that does not allow taping, the taping policy of the headlining band or venue supersedes Candlebox's policy for that evening.
No recording gear or electricity will be supplied; be sure you have all the necessary equipment. Soundboard feeds will not be provided.
Please be polite while taping by keeping in mind the crew and concert-goers around you. A fan's show experience should never be disrupted by microphones or stands.

Duplication of non-official live recordings by Candlebox is authorized for the following uses:

personal, non-commercial uses
archival/back-up
gifts
the trading of compact discs, cassettes, mini discs, and other media
"blanks and postage" offers
free transfer of digital music files over computer networks (including the Internet)

All taping must be for personal and non-commercial use only. No profit is ever to be made from live Candlebox recordings! You are permitted to trade shows with other fans for an equal amount of media. 2-for-1 trading is considered profiteering and will not be tolerated.

If you participate in the free exchange of live Candlebox music, you acknowledge and respect the copyrights and exclusive ownership of the music and performances by the band. Candlebox reserves the right to seek legal remedies against anyone that is in violation of this policy.

In the interests of making any such recordings as openly accessible as possible to all fans who may be interested, Candlebox requests that all tapers upload their recordings to the Live Music Archive: http://www.archive.org/details/etree.

In the past, shows have been uploaded to various bit torrent networks. While the benefits of bit torrent are obvious, our experience has been that it has presented a significant barrier for Candlebox fans, inhibiting them from downloading and enjoying live recordings. Many fans are unable to gain membership to communities such as dimeadozen, are unable to successfully wrap their heads around bit torrent technology, and it's just easy for recordings to get lost and forgotten via bit torrent communities. Uploading to the Live Music Archive ensures that recordings will be accessible indefinitely.
