The Internet Archive has been asked, presumably by the Grateful Dead, to pull more than 1,000 soundboard recordings of the band’s performances from its archive. Internet Archive founder Brewster Kahle made the announcement on 22 November:

“Based on discussions with many involved, the Internet Archive has been asked to change how the Grateful Dead concert recordings are being distributed on the Archive site for the time being. The full collection will remain safe in the Archive for preservation purposes.”

Audience recordings will continue to be made available, but only in a streaming, non-downloadable format.
