Pro tip: watch who you hand your USB drive to at a gig

Last month I played a small set at Bajo Tierra in San Salvador and this guy comes up after, says he's a fan, asks for a copy of D11-04 on USB. I was hyped so I handed it over. Next thing I know he's got my whole library ripped, tracks I hadn't even released yet showed up on some random SoundCloud account two weeks later. That one interaction cost me a month of studio work. Has anyone else had someone steal unreleased stuff from a live show?

Never hand over your device, always transfer files yourself.

Depends on the situation though @barbara278, is this really that big of a deal most of the time?
