Speaking of cameras, this asshole security guard told my dad to put away his "camera" at Bob Dylan in November. But get this - it was a Palm Zire 22, on which he was writing down the setlist.



We showed it to him and he's like "AHH IT'S A CAMERA".

Old fart.

Most of the bootlegs I used to buy in the early 90s were made in Italy because it was perfectly legal under their licensing laws at the time and the independent record store I used to use back then used to display them openly & I don't think he ever got prosecuted for it.

Hmm yeah this is kind of what I was getting at. I dont know the law so I don't really know how it works but as i understand it it's illegal to SELL bootlegs but its unlikely you'd ever get prosecuted for it.

Personally I like to use the net to download bootlegs and they are all fan to fan free downloads.

myself have pretty much bought records from all the bands i have bootlegs from. if i hear a great band on a bootleg recording i will most likely buy buy one or more albums with them, i will nerver setle with a bootleg when i could get a real show on a disc aswell.

If you ask me

official music - DONT DOWNLOAD, BUY REAL ALBUMS

Bootlegs - WELCOME TO SHARE FOR FREE


I agree 100%.
