correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the guy who ran 5A1 selling boots as part of his site?
Jason Brown, I beleive his name was, and MAN did that stir up the shit in the pearl jam world!
Fall of 99, i think it was, and 5a1 was doing something that was REALLY borderline in terms of boot trading. As opposed to doing B&P's for shows, he was basically selling the shows for around cost of B&P, maybe a little more. This practice seriously divided people into camps about whether he was doing a service to the commuity or stealing from the band (and the community). Imagine today's dispute about mp3's and when they can be distributed based on the wishes of traders, and you saw similar lines drawn and horrible fights.
He eventually lost his ten club number too, and I think that Caryn was instrumental in pressing against Jason and what he was doing (reporting him to 10C, etc...).
The thing is, I think he might have even been selling mp3-sourced discs, which didn't impress me as super-shitty at the time, but now it makes me nuts that anyone would ever do such a thing.
Your story is correct for the most part. The shows were sold for cost of what a B&P would have been. No profits were collected. Shows were 99% free of MP3. I can not be totally sure that EVERYTHING i had back then was sourced from the best of the best. Also dont forget that you could download anything and everything from 98 prior that was out in those days.
Anyway things change and so do people. Caryn had nothing to do with it.

I sent you money
I was in meditation and prayer last night
I was awakened by a shining bright light
Overhead a glorious spirit, he gave me a message and you all
need to hear it
"Send me your money," that's what he said
He said to "Send me your money"
Now if you can only send a dollar or two
There ain't a hell of a lot I can do for you
But if you want to see heaven's door
Make out a check for five hundred or more
