but youve already done the same thing! i just cant feel compassion
for one and not the other. the forms of stealing are different for
sure, but both bootlegging and illegaly sampling are stealing from
someone. ive never felt compassion for the sampled people, its
getting their music out there. and the same for bootlegged
material, its just getting the records into the hands of the fans
who want them.

if you sell all the copies of your first run, you can just repress
it. its not all that hard, and if youve already made back your
money plus your profit, you should easily be able to afford to do
that.

im not saying that. im saying look at the prices paid on ebay for
that amp dog knight single. like $90. and NONE of that is going to
the artist, thats for sure. but someone is making mad loot off of
the fact that it was a limited pressing.

who is complaining? im working on my own material, and when its
done, it will be posted on the web for free in high bitrate MP3.
venetian snares used to do this with every single tune he made,
and then when the record the songs were being released on were
about to come out, he'd take them off. and he has definitely
managed to continue to sell buttloads of records on many big labels.
