To paraphrase Oskar Schindler, "presentation is everything".


If you're suggesting that CD's are better than CD-R's simply for the sake of appearance, well, you've got a point.

But remember folks, bootlegs are illegal. I'm not passing judgment of people who buy/sell/trade them, but the law is the law. Complaining that your bootleg is on a CD-R rather than a CD is sorta like complaining that your neighborhood cocaine dealer is selling his product in plastic bags from the grocery store instead of tamper-resistant pharmaceutical-grade bottles. smile



This is a great, great post.

I share everything I have via Kazaa Lite. If everybody else did, nobody would have to pay for bootlegs in the first place.

I can't stress this highly enough, but if you are using any peer-to-peer sharing software (including Kazaa), switch to Kazaa Lite. Its an unofficial version of the program and you can read more about it (or download it) here: http://doa2.host.sk/ Go to the FAQ page first.

Its better than Napster ever was and nearly getting as good as Audiogalaxy was.

What do you mean thank god for Sabotage. Dont EVER think these guys do what they do for the love of the music. Sure they maybe Prince fans but their main reason for bootlegging is profit. The prices "professional bootleggers" charge for their warez is ridiculous. Even worse than the industry they supposed to be at odds with. Ie the music industry. CDR bootlegs are fantastic, genuine Prince fans recording shows and getting them out there to the people is fantastic. Sure if they're expensive there as bad as Sabotage but to make out Sabotage are some kinda of freedom fighters and their piece of the pie is being er..Sabotaged by people doing CDRs is ridiculous. Sell bootlegs cheaper and more people will buy them. Same rules apply whether its legal or not.



eh. it's like any other job, i imagine. you do it to make money, but if you love what you're doing, then all the better.
