Uh, no, that's not the same thing.  ClearChannel's issue is about Their 
Competition making instant CDs *on the spot* for fans to buy immediately 
after the show using specialized equipment that is covered by the patent 
ClearChannel now owns.  Recording a live show and then later producing a 
CD out of it is not something covered by the ClearChannel's patent.
