so lemme guess. bootleggers just snap their fingers and have
copies of some rare record? no offense, but bootlegging still
involves finding a copy of the song and investing time and money
into getting them pressed (and in the case of the HTFR joints,
making sure they look nice!).

but he's also making much much much less of a profit. neither is
really doing anything essential to the music on the record.

i mean ill break your f*cking arms if you try to take something
from me. so good luck with that.
im just struggling to find what dealers do that is worth so much
$$$ to them "legitimately" vs what bootleggers actually do that is
worth the small profit they might maybe make.
