Two things:
1. I don't think that someone is "asking for it" if they overprice
their releases. Obviously vinyl is hugely important, but it's not our
right to be able to buy records at the price we want. That's a
justification for theft - which is what bootlegging is. I should note
that I'm only trying to outline what I see as the principal, I've
bought bootlegs in my time.
2. R&S at LOST - v. good indeed. Don't know what Maurizio and Mark
look like, but assuming that they have an impassive, vaguely teutonic
appearance then it was probably them (nice polo neck!). They played a
puckah selection of mostly 80s + a bit of 70s, that would have gone
down pretty well at a dedicated roots night. They also played 'King
In My Empire'. Major difference from a roots night was that almost no
one was dancing. I found this a bit strange since reggae is dance
music after all. However, it actually worked really well in the LOST
context, since they have been lacking a proper chill out room for
ages. I think it makes the main room work much better (though moving
the reeking toilets out of the chill out room probably helped as
well).

It's new, but somewhat unbelievably, it went for $90 on ebay last week.
And I bought the KDJ17 for $30 last month.. wich is still too much in my
opinion...
Yep, it's deffo too much, but I know it's been going for £40 ish here.
So why would you want to bootleg this?
Well, I'm not too sure really. Was really interested to hear what other
people thought about it. That's my point, I don't get it. Surely they must
be doing it for financial purposes, which, in my opinion, in this small
industry, is bang out of order really? (maybe, dunno what I think really,
just up for a discussion on this slow afternoon).
