Privacy Statement
etreedb.org respects your privacy. We do not collect personally-identifiable
information about
you except for the information you disclose to us. To
maintain a list on the site, you must provide a username, password,
e-mail address, etc. We also know your IP address and our host keeps
server logs. We use this information
to improve the site, troubleshoot, and assist us in running
etreedb.org.
etreedb.org will never sell your personal information, or disclose it to
anyone (except yourself), unless required to by law. We hate spam, too.
etreedb.org uses cookies to identify you while you browse parts of the
site that require a login. Without them, you would have to login every
time you viewed a page associated with your list. These cookies contain
no information about you. They simply provide a unique ID # to use
while visiting, and then expire when you log out or when enough time
passes.
We may use any information you provide to assist you with problems such as
lost passwords or problems with your list. We may contact you with
questions or concerns about your use of etreedb.org. When using this
site, your IP address may be tracked, monitored, recorded and, if necessary,
used to restrict your access to etreedb.org. We will,
however, generally keep all of this information confidential and will
not disclose it to anyone without your permission and/or a very good
reason, unless required by law.
User Conduct
Almost all etreedb.org users conduct themselves in a polite,
community-minded
way. A few do not. Those who do not risk losing their db.etreedb
accounts.
There is no list of prohibited conduct here. That does not mean that
anything goes. Instead, we trust you to use good judgment. All you need
is common sense to avoid crossing the line. If you're uncertain,
you probably shouldn't do it, whatever it is.
Generally, we will contact people whose behavior is becoming a
problem. Most of the time, a simple e-mail resolves the issue.
That's one of the things admins do, and you can reach us at
contact@etreedb.org
Offering to sell shows, or being caught selling them on eBay, will
probably result in the loss of your account without warning or
reprieve.
Legal Stuff
If you have a legal concern about the content of etreedb.org, please
read this page first. You can then contact us using the link
below.
THERE IS NO MUSIC OR VIDEO AT etreedb.org.
We
are not a
download site.
We are not a file-sharing service.
We are not a
peer to
peer service or a bittorrent tracker.
You cannot download anything
here
except for text files.
THERE IS NO MUSIC OR VIDEO AT
etreedb.org.
What is etreedb.org? etreedb.org does three things.
First, we provide a database of
performance information: who played what, when and where. Second, we
are a database of meta-data about lossless audio recordings
of bands like the Grateful Dead, Phish and many others, who permit
their fans to record and/or freely exchange their live
performances. Third, we provide a mechanism for users to link these
performances and recordings to personalized lists.
Some people think that the
performances and recordings listed here can be downloaded from
etreedb.org. That is untrue.
THERE IS NO MUSIC OR VIDEO AT etreedb.org.
If you are a copyright holder, you have an obligation to make a reasonable
and diligent investigation of the facts before claiming that we are
violating your copyright. That investigation will show that we aren't
violating your copyright.
THERE IS NO MUSIC OR VIDEO AT etreedb.org
We are occasionally contacted about material on other websites that
are linked from etreedb.org. For example, the Live Music Archive has audio
files that can be downloaded. Similarly, bt.etree.org tracks BitTorrent sessions.
Both sites contain legal material only, and
comply with artists' taping/trading policies. If they make a mistake,
please contact them directly. We cannot remove content from other
people's websites.
THERE IS NO MUSIC OR VIDEO AT etreedb.org
From time to time, artists' policies change. There can
confusion about the contours of an
artist's trading policy. Occasionally, material is mis-listed here (or
on another site linked from db.etree) as being one thing when it is in
fact something else. This usually happens by mistake, and can be easily
corrected. Please let us know, and we will investigate and
make whatever changes are appropriate.
If you want us to remove performance listings from etreedb.org, we
probably won't. That's like asking a library to remove
newspapers from the shelves because you don't like what they say.
If, however, you find an inaccuracy in the
performance data, we are anxious to correct it. Indeed, you can do so
by clicking the edit link on each performance listing. You do not need
to contact us to make a correction. Just go ahead and do it.
We are occasionally threatened with legal action because a user's
list refers to material that may not be lawfully copied. If you believe
that a etreedb.org site user is infringing your copyright, please begin by
contacting that user directly. In our experience, the most common
problem is ignorance, and asking nicely works wonders.
We also provide a mechanism for users to distinguish between
material that may, and that may not, be lawfully traded. Therefore, please
do not ask us to intervene in a private dispute with a user of this
site. We cannot enter people's homes and confiscate their
possessions. Even if we could, we wouldn't.
A final word to performers and their lawyers:
We are not your
enemy. Please take the time to learn about what we do. If you still
have concerns, use this opportunity to reach us by e-mail. We
will gladly address your concerns if we can.
In a database this large, mistakes are inevitable.
They can usually be corrected. Your misplaced hostility will not help. Nor
will an inconsiderate and inaccurate cease and desist letter.
If you are a lawyer, you will suffer the
embarrassment of explaining to your client that you made a mistake.
And, we who practice law take our our ethical responsibilities seriously.
We trust that you do, too. Attorneys: please review
the New York Rules of Professional Conduct, particularly Rules 1.1(a), 1.3(a), 1.14 and 2.1, or your
jurisdiction's equivalent.
If you have any legal questions or concerns about this site, you can
reach us at
contact@etreedb.org
We look forward to hearing from you.
