I'm a volunteer admin for the Live Music Archive and Dana is 100% correct. 
The LMA collection is for bands who have explicitly granted permission to 
have their recordings hosted online in perpetuity, not just bands that are 
known to be taper-friendly.

The purpose of Open Source Audio is more for non-live material that you 
personally can give permission for, or for files in formats that don't 
meet the LMA's lossless standards. In general, if you didn't create the 
music yourself, it probably shouldn't go on OSA.

If you do represent a band or know them well enough to get permission, 
feel free to forward their message to me personally, or to 
etree@archive.org and we'll get a section set up for them. Thanks!
