Policy Related to Audio Recordings of Live Performances

Free Radicals permits audience taping at our shows, although particular venues may not. The enjoyment of the audience in attendance at a concert or musical performance always takes precedence over recording efforts. This means that at no time should tapers those making the audio recording ever ask other patrons to move, be quiet, or be otherwise interrupted in their enjoyment of the show. If any number of copies are made from a Free Radicals concert recording, one copy, on DAT or CD, must be sent to Free Radicals, 8377 Westview Drive, Houston, TX 77055. Please include your contact information in case we become interested in releasing any songs from the recording. Free Radicals reserves the right, in all instances, to use such recordings for any purposes and in any form of media, including, without limitation, the right to (1) reproduce, prepare derivative works based upon, distribute copies of, publicly perform, or publicly display the recording; (2) trade, exchange, or share the recording; or (3) officially release the recording -- all without any payment or accounting made to the individual or individuals who made the recording.

All participants in audio recording exchange (regardless of format) acknowledge and respect the copyrights and exclusive ownership of the music and performances by the performers, writers, and publishers. All taping must be for personal use only, which may include trading (via analog or digital tape, CD, or digital or electronic file transfer). Recordings may be traded only for an equivalent amount of similar media (cassettes or CDs, pre-recorded or blank). Regardless of any expenses incurred, no money may ever be exchanged as part of a trade; however, stamped, self-addressed envelopes may be included with blank media. In addition, the media by which audio trading is publicized may not be commercialized. Therefore newsletters, web sites, clubs, or any other communication forum facilitating audio trading cannot accept advertising, offer links for compensation, exploit databases compiled from their traffic, or otherwise derive any commercial proceeds in any form. Stores or businesses may not offer to duplicate Free Radicals media for customers or sell or otherwise provide media containing unreleased Free Radicals music for any price. A statement of compliance with this policy must be clearly posted on all web sites engaged in trading activity. If we have chosen to offer for sale (via physical media such as CD, or via digital or electronic transmission) a particular Free Radicals performance, this "official" version will take precedence over amateur recordings being offered for download. In these instances, we require that digital or electronic audio repositories remove any recording of these particular performances from their collections within 3 days of the official release or within 3 days of Free Radicals announcing the intention to release, whichever is earlier. Notwithstanding the above, Free Radicals reserves the right to require immediate removal of any unreleased Free Radicals material. It is the responsibility of the site host to remain informed of the current list of Free Radicals' officially-released recordings and to maintain their site accordingly. A listing of such officially-released recordings may be found at our web site, http://www.enjoymusic.com/freeradicals/a-cds.shtml. In no case may any officially-released Free Radicals recording (live or studio) be duplicated or otherwise traded or offered. Broadcast of unreleased Free Radicals recordings via radio or online is permissible only if it conforms to all the guidelines applicable to other forms of duplication.

Audience taping at Free Radicals concerts is authorized for non-commercial purposes only. Unauthorized sale, duplication, and/or distribution is strictly forbidden. All Free Radicals performances and recordings are the exclusive property of Free Radicals. All rights reserved. The privilege to record Free Radicals performances set forth in this policy constitute an express, revocable license. We reserve the right to withdraw our sanction of recording, tape trading, and/or non-commercial digital or electronic audio file transfers on a case specific basis or in general, as we deem necessary. No waiver of any copyright or trademark rights is intended.
