Audience recordings I'm not sure how the legalities work but studio recordings are an absolute no-go here.

As far as I know everything is fine as long as it has not been officially released anywhere. MTV stuff no-go, official BJ stuff no-go. The only problem is that they often just spit out a live album and copyright strike everyone who uploaded it previously on youtube. I don't collect neither share official material, don't worry about that. Also I think the authorities have better things to do then striking people for collecting bootlegs from 30 years ago.
