List of bands which prohibit recordings of their performances

No encyclopedic potential. Difficult to verify. Could be a huge list. —Wahoofive (Talk) 04:17, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, unmaintainable list. Megan1967 06:25, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete -- Copyright exists. Most bands are out to protect their rights and incomes. This list (as opposed to List of bands which permit recordings of their performances) will become very long indeed. - Longhair | Talk 06:28, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - might as well call it "list of bands" —Teknic^{Talk / Mail} 07:44, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• That would be nearly all bands, then. Delete this pointless list. Radiant_* 09:37, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: at www.archive.org there is a list of the opposite, Artists That DO Allow Live Recordings, but this is because archive.org hosts many of them. (Not sure this is relevant, but thought you might like to know.) Marblespire 09:47, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Most bands prohibit recordings because of copyright issues. I'd find the List of bands which permit recordings of their performances far more useful. Delete this one as not maintainable. Mgm|^(talk) 11:53, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Would have to include 99.9% of the bands in the world. An article on bands who have specifically spoken out in public against taping might be interesting, though. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:11, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: -- Do I sense the creation of List of bands which prohibit recordings of their performances and have spoken out in public about it? Please don't :) - Longhair | Talk 20:02, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. This would be a pretty long list. Perhaps a more useful list would be the notable artists that do or did although the Grateful Dead and Metallica are the only notable artists that spring to mind. Capitalistroadster 00:59, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Arbitrary unmaintainable list. Jayjg ^(talk) 04:34, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• delete worthless. 68.190.40.38 02:04, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - as pointed out, we already have the inverse list: List of bands which permit recordings of their performances. So, this list is unnecessary and redundant. It's like having a list of "People who have not walked on the moon". - Pioneer-12 10:06, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - Not only it is an unmaintainable list but also wikipedia has it's way of creating automatic lists via the category functionality.
