Re: Nissan & bootlegs



There's been a big discussion recently on another list about what effect 
bootlegs have on the music industry.  Seeing those bootlegs selling for 
so much really pisses off the musicians who are getting paid pennies for 
every cd their record company sells, and sometimes they quit the 
business.  I've decided people shouldn't buy bootlegs for more than the 
cost it takes to make them.
