Fishbone allow the trading of live recordings of independent origin (ROIOs) at the following conditions :
- In no way can a live ROIO be sold, used for any broadcast, promotional or shown in any public forum without the expressed written consent of Silverback Management,
- No trade of a ROIO is allowed for a period of six weeks after the copy has been sent to Fishbone/Silverback Management. If after that period Fishbone/Silverback Management has not restricted the free distribution the recording (either through direct contact with the recorder or by marking the recording "trade not allowed" on FishboneLive.org), the trade of the recording can be considered to be allowed. Fishbone/Silverback Management still retain the right to restrict the trading of the recording at any time,
- All the recordings available through FishboneLive.org and whose trade has not been explicitly restricted may be traded. Trades cannot involve any kind of payment. Unauthorized sale of live recordings is prohibited.
- ROIOs may be made available through peer to peer share mechanisms such as torrent trackers, preferably, but not limited to, FishboneLive.org's torrent tracker.
If these simple rules are not respected by the tapers, Fishbone could drastically alter their policy.
