No. Following that logic, every ripped format (mp3, wav, flac, aac, mp4, ogg, etc.) that was not released via an artist or their label is a Bootleg. The original media source should be the determinate of what is Official or Bootleg.

If MB is supposed to be an archive of band's music at least.) once you separate the video from the audio you are left with a homemade audio release which isn't any different than a bootleg. if it was official audio, there would be an official audio release of the same audio put out by the band. example.. the Dave Matthews Band Live in Central Park CDs and DVDs are official. if i took the audio from the DVD to make a CD.. whats official about that? nothing. it's an act unsanctioned by the band. If there was no audio release of a DVD put out by a band, than you have to create the audio yourself. That audio is a bootleg. _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
