>using samples, illegal or not, is not the same as stealing someone >else's entire creation outright...
i dont know why you think bootlegging is stealing someones creation, they are not exactly putting their own name on it and bootlegging is not a great business to be in if you actually want to make money what about ppl selling tunes for $100 on ebay? is that stealing from the artist? theres $95 that could go to the artist! you are all paranoid! ab (i dont buy bootlegs simply because i am a collector of original pressings, not because i worry about these artists pay packets) --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
