Maybe not such a great idea. Handing out pirate flyers at their gigs might just make them even more opposed to us. The problem is that many musicians don't see the problem with copyright, and one reason is simply that any music mag, musicians' workshop/course or whatever seems to have a compulsory element on how to "protect" your work (thus spreading the misunderstanding that anyone who is against commercial copyright also wants to make it possible for any Tom, Dick or Harry to claim someone else's work as theirs ...).<br>
<br>It would be better, as always, to educate the musicians. I've no idea how that could be accomplished, though. The people who already think we're "out to get them" aren't exactly likely to listen to what we have to say anyway ...<br>

Some musicians are obnoxiously opposed to sharing.<br>
I wonder if it might be interesting to protest them;<br>
for instance, hand out leaflets at their concerts.<br>
