D00d, John Perry Barlow didn't go on his anti-copright crusade until years
later -- after he had made quite a lot of money from the sale of Grateful
Dead albums. (The Dead did decide not to try to stop trading of live 
performance tapes, since they couldn't really do much about it anyhow.
But they NEVER tolerated trading of copies of their published albums.)
