shainhouse Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 This is a letter from Diana Hamilton, one of the leaders of the etree archive. If you agree to what she says, e-mail her and get yourself up there- Peace- Shain To all bands, Our online music trading group (etree.org) has recently gotten something going with the Internet Archive (archive.org) to host trade-friendly live shows, http://www.archive.org/audio/etree.php The new project is similar to the music exchange we've already been doing, but with more exposure and bandwidth. It's totally noncommercial- that's the basic foundation for the idea. All hosting is done within the terms of bands' particular wishes and the usual trading ethics. Both bands and fans can upload live recordings in SHN format to be hosted. No commercial releases are to be hosted- only material that bands allow to be freely traded. Fans have posted to archive.org that you are taping/trading friendly. Would this new archive.org site be covered under your regular trading policy? I ask because the etree archive would like to hear a simple "yes, go ahead" or else "no" response from various artists they host. (Hearing "no" means we can then turn away traders' uploads so they don't fill up the pending-area drives.) We keep a copy of each band's policy, and notice of their go-ahead or denial, on file for user reference. Thanks so much for any response you could give either way! I'm a volunteer band contacter for the archive, so you can reply to me directly (hamilton@umbc.edu). One of the main etree archive architects, Jon Aizen (jonATarchiveDOTorg) is also reachable in case you have any questions for him.
