From what I recall on my woodcutting permit, it's supposed to be standing dead anyways. That being said I'm sure people will cut whatever they find convenient to cut. They might not realize how much more work it is to cut the live trees, the live trees are so much heavier with water that you can't fit as much in your vehicle or trailer. A person is working more that they have to if they're cutting live trees for firewood.
Then there is my coloring technique that I've posted here before, connect with a local arborist and get all manner of firewood with way less driving involved.
