Re:
If... the record companies (and artists) were smart (they're not), they would
recognize the fact that "bootlegs" are a way of life and instead of spending
money enforcing laws, they should take the philosophy, "if you can't beat
'em, join them." Just think what would happen if a company like MCA put out
their OWN Who "bootleg" series. For $25/30, you get a "limited" release in
the convenience of your own record store. Both artist and record company can
profit and everyone gets a fair chance to buy it...


This *was* done by Frank Zappa on Rykodisc.  The series was called, "Beat
the Boots".
