Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The interactions based around the taping, trading, and collecting of live music performances has evolved into a phenomenon that can aptly be referred to as a community. What is most remarkable about this is that the vast majority of these activities now take place over the Internet. This social phenomenon exhibits all the characteristics found in other, more traditional, communities that are maintained through regular face-to-face interaction. This paper is a participant observation that specifically addresses how trading is indeed a community, and demonstrates how this is facilitated through the proliferation of the Internet and other technologies. More generally, the social dynamics of the Internet has ramifications that may go far beyond the practice of trading live recordings and is affecting society on a more pervasive level. The emergence of cyber-structure is aptly addressed by sociological theories that predate the popular emergence of the Internet, particularly Georg Simmel and Anthony Giddens.
