In 2000, my son built a Dave Matthews Website called Dave Matthews Band - AmIDreaming.org. (He hasn't attended to it for two years.)

Dave and his band members were aware of the site, approved it, comped him tickets and knew him by name. He was VIP at the Central Park benefit concert that DMB gave to raise money for the NYC school system. It was very cool.

Anyway, Noel had been making CD covers from the show photos, he would post them to the site and give them away to whoever asked for them. One day, he's in a store in NY and what does he see? His "bootlegged" CD designs being sold for ten dollars.

A cease & desist letter followed and everyone moved on.

BTW, Dave Matthews is playing a "Stand Up for a Cure" benefit concert at Madison Square Garden on September 10th. Proceeds go to Sloan Kettering.
