who cares if bootlegging is justified or not? its justification or
lack thereof isnt going to stop them from existing. the only thing
you can do is to examine what makes a bootlegger decide to bootleg
a product: limited supply and excessive demand. bootleggers dont
bootleg things that are always in print. UR doesnt have this
problem (aside from those ultimate bootleggers sony) because their
music is always in print. so by simple examination its easy to see
that the only ways to avoid bootlegging are to put out a product
that no one wants to buy or to keep popular items in print.
bootlegging has always and will always exist, just like drug use
and whatever other negative aspects of music you can think of. so
instead of trying to treat the symptom, nip the problem in the
butt and you wont ever have to worry about it.
