my 2 eurocent:
just because there is a demand it doesn't mean that there *has* to be an
offer.
if the original artists don't want to repress some amazing long-out-of-stock
record from back in tha day, they are free to do so...it makes the record in
question all the more legendary. it's also in their right to do as they
wish.
then again, capitalism (or keynesian microeconomics or whatever) teaches us
that if there is a demand, there will also, at some point, be an offer - cue
unscrupulous bootleggers.
so to conclude, all i can say is that its the *consumers* who decide,
whether to keep crooks like HTFR in business by buying their stuff, or
instead buy conscientiously and showing that there isnt a market for illegal
bootlegs. it's a buyer's market so to speak....
fab.

it fits the series i guess..
see, if no one does anything about it, it just goes on and on and on. and
on.
if i was joe bloggs superstar detroit electronic musician, I'd form a
little co-op alliance, chip in for a lawyer to send at least a cease and
desist letter. that way no one person is forking out a large legal bill,
and it might at least make them think about stopping.
but I'm not joe bloggs superstar detroit musician am I. so I aint gonna do
it.
