Band Restriction Policy
The Traders' Den is a user-driven community built around the concept of sharing unofficial musical recordings with other fans. We recognize that many artists traded here do not explicity sanction the free electronic trading of their unreleased material. We will honor any requests from an artist or authorized representative thereof for the removal of any and all material from our tracker. We do not, however, seek out trading policies of particular artists or attempt to interpret them into our own regulations since a lot of these policies are outdated and open to interpretation.

Thanks

I'm the taper/author/filmer and I want that show removed!
Our policy here is similar to that at a major torrent site. The rights to the audio/video belong to the performer. Once that show gets out of your hands, you don't have any control over what is done with it. If someone uploads a show that you taped/filmed/authored/remastered, you may ask the uploader to remove it ONCE (any other requests may be deleted at the discretion of the Mods), but it is up to them whether they want to ask us to remove it. However, that doesn't mean that show is permanently banned from here. Someone else may end up uploading it and not feel like asking for it to be removed.
