One other positive consideration that links to practice of audio taping
performances:  Since jazz is an improvised endeavor, what is played may
never be done that way again.  The recording of these performances preserves
them for enjoyment and discovery by those who come after us.  I've got boxes
of tapes given to me as a then younger fan, of performances by bands no
longer playing, musicians who have passed on etc.  Many of them are
fantastic to listen to.  And of course there are the memories of the
original owners that are brought to mind, but that is another factor all
together.

Regarding filming of performances, I would of course not condone anything
that led to sales of the film, etc. But, I can say that after hearing groups
on Youtube, I've gone and bought stuff based on that. Those groups hadn't
been familiar to me before hearing them on the computer and that directly
led to sales. I would say not to throw out the baby with the bath water.
