How to capture the Roadburn Festival webcast to disk

[pete howe]

paul, this wasnt aimed at you at all...i agree with everything you say..but 
i did note people say they were already designing cd covers for it!..im just 
a little concerned,that once again, the guys will lose out on revenue they 
desperately need, especially as the official release is imminent..I think 
they give enough back to the fans as it is...
     regards
