Paul/Alex:
And where would Detroits musical underground be without the 'pasty-white
British scum' who worship the music? Not pressing up limited records to
sell at an inflated price in order to get rich quick, thats for sure.
So you're saying he has got no right to be pissed off at the bootleggers?
Yes, a possible explanation for bootlegging Moodymann can be the
bootleggers' frustration/irritation with his release policy (but it could
just as well be that they wanted to earn a quick buck), so in that sense he
contributed to being bootlegged. But that does *NOT* make bootlegging
ethical behavior.
Or if it's the politically-incorrect language: would you rather have him
saying "Tsk, tsk, you naughty people of unknown skin color living in the
UK. You must not bootleg my records."

Why?
If "Pasty-White British Scum" would be referring to football hooligans,
would you be equally offended and defensive?
He's obviously not referring to all British people, so why not put on your
Teflon suit and let it silde. No need to take it personal.

To the bootleggers, he probably does.
