Any sort of profiteering, be it financial or material (blank cassettes) from Ben Folds Five show recordings is considered to be an unfair practice and that takes advantage of the band's liberal policies. Abuse of this policy may result in the band revoking taping privileges for everyone.
All kinds of photography, including both still and video taping, are not permitted. The band no longer issues photo passes. Accredited journalists may obtain photographs from the band's publicity firm or from the label.
These policies may be overridden by regulations at the venue where they are playing, so be sure to check first. If a venue prohibits taping or photography, the band will go along with the venue.
