How to capture the Roadburn Festival webcast to disk

[Colin Allen]

The Music on the Roadburn/3voor12 site IS only a stream, not a download.  However, streams can be captured and recorded very easily by fans.  Given that this stream is only of part of the gig, it seems likely that virtually everybody who has downloaded it will buy the official release when it is released.
   
  Meanwhile, the existence of this stream has created interest, has made the band's sound available to people who may not have experienced them before and has probably helped to sell more CDs.  Why not see this as a form of marketing rather than a threat?  In fact, how is it a threat or a negative factor?
   
  By the way, how is this different from the live performances that have appeared on the BBC over the years? Those were not downloadable (especially as downloads did not exist at the time) but could still be recorded off air by fans.

  The music on the Roadburn stream was meant as a stream only NOT as a 
download. This is the 1st time that Hawkwind have agreed to this sort of 
thing, unfortunately it will most likely be the last, especially if copies 
start appearing on ebay.
