The point was that if the original got damaged, you could use the backup at the show as long as you kept the original with it. The point was not to use "all backups" at the show and keep your originals at home.
So how about a compromise.......maybe the "all my original discs are unreliable", might be a bit iffy........I brought them, though...but feel better about my dupes........wouldn't want me having a crappy show, would you?
That is not the current policy. It was the policy at the time (1998).
The current policy is that media-shifting is allowed only with notification and an audit that demonstrates 1:1 compliance. It does not matter what the non-original medium is--could be CDs, could be a hard drive, could be solid-state memory, or whatever.
You can run off duplicate CD+Gs if you go through the audit process.
Those who complied with the policy in the period between 1998 and 2011 when the policy was changed should be "grandfathered" under the
and left alone to run their businesses.
Those who never complied and those who are new customers should be the only ones subject to the new policy.
