Correct.

You are paying for a seat at a concert venue. You are NOT paying for the recording, and rebroadcasting rights to the concert you are attending. Whether it be on your Facebook or Youtube pages. Whether it is crappy or not is irrelevant.

It makes me laugh the endless hypocrites who bitch daily on GFY when someone steals their content and puts it on a tube site. Then in the next breath, is throwing a tantrum when other "artists" or copyright owners take steps to lock down their own content to protect their revenue (i.e. concerts).

Priceless.
