Databank.org was THE place to go to to read up on info regarding Prince's bootlegs. It was a database that listed all circulating boots, included the title, date, "label", track listing, and what kind of recording it was (studio, audience or otherwise) they would normally give a rating of the quality of the recording. Oft time cover art and sometimes a commentary if they deemed it appropriate...i.e. if the recording was outstanding or noteworthy as well as comparing varied boots that were very similar to each other and what those differences were.

His Position: There should be no boots. Period

Their position: Since there are LOTS of Boots anyway out there, why not provide decent info regarding such boots.

y'know, for years ive said this, there are so many bands who are taper and trader friendly, and still do well in sales, but Prince has to be a big baby and have total control over everything,i personally believe bootlegs add to the experience of being a fan/collector. but im just adding my 2 cents.

The sad thing is that if this is the same Databank from about 12 or so years ago they mostly posted the lyrics to officially released songs. Sure there would be a well know boot on the site here and there but it wasn't singularly dedicated to illegal material.
