I think it's appalling that you folks from Jeepster don't complain about copies of Tigermilk going for 300 pounds, but threaten legal action against a CD made from a CASSETTE DUB. That riddiculous, especially considering you posted a few weeks ago to the indie-list saying that there was "little or no chance" of Tigermilk ever getting reissued.
Quite agree - the arguments against bootlegging are almost entirely centred (rightly so) around protecting the earnings of the people who have done the work. This case is weakened somewhat when the bootlegged item in fact no longer provides any earnings and - if unreleased - is unlikely to ever again. It's even lamer when you consider the fact that those fanatics who are responsible for the bootlegging in this case would be more than happy to pay (over) the full price for a proper copy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
