From my understanding, a Torrent is “sharing,” just like letting someone rip your CD or copy mp3s from your network drive. So I don’t think it violates the CC license, but it does seem like a harsh way to treat an artist who gives us so much good, sometimes free, stuff.
On the other hand, the box set *is* $60, and that’s better than a poke in the eye for an independant musician. Just sayin’…
