It's only after Mr Smash's
e-mail a month or so ago, has it shed new light onto myself about views on
bootleggers. It's not something
that I had ever stopped and thought about and so true, why on
earth
should any person profit from
the work put in by any particular artist. (Apart from where contracts
have
been signed) That's not to say
that I'm not still pissed off with some record companies lack of inovation in
promoting and realeasing bands
material.
