I hope they learned:

- you need a US download site instead of schlepping all those bits
    across the pond (there is -very- finite bandwidth between Europe
    and the US; it all has to go across undersea cable or satellite,
    neither of which are 'cheap' to install.  Its a major constriction
    point for large downloads for US customers from UK sites.)
- you need more than just 4 35-min MP3 files to make a concert
    "available"
- people want song separation
- people want some form of artwork/credits, although they are willing
    to tolerate a low budget production
- many people still cannot access the net with broadband equipment to
    make such a download feasible so you still need to offer CD-Rs of the
    material
- many people do not have CD-R burners, so you still need to offer
    pre-burned CD-Rs for most customers
