Confessions Of An Internet 'Bootlegger'

--- Quote ---The music industries going to have to change their entire way of how they do EVERYTHING if they want to stop bootlegging.  Either they learn to live with it (I'd say major, major releases probably lose 2 million albums to bootleggers... the marshall mathers cd would have sold 2 million more... I know because I see peeps at flea markets moving these in MASS units, each one was a sale that would have happened legit if the bootleggers wouldn't have been there).  

Either they learn to live with it, or they change how things are done, like for instance, making money off radio, or off videos, or lowering album prices to 5 dollars, or whatever.  As long as music can be HEARD, it can be recorded, and it can be bootlegged.  So, by nature, music will always be bootlegged.  They have to figure out a way for people not to want the bootlegged version.

I think lowering the price would make a major difference (for the better), I mean some bootlegs go for about £5 anyways so the official release would be worth it to the ones that are only willing to pay that price (which ultimatly results in them copping bootlegged copies in the first place). Just look at it this way, it official releases were going for half the price they do now you could get 2 official copies of whatever albums you please for the normal price of 1, or 2 official copies for the normal price of 4 and so on. But also alot music has to step up in quality, like that guy said in the article, especially in hip-hop I think.

OH MY GOD, the answer to this guys source is at the top of this very web page!: Get mIRC and talk to us live in #WestCoastConnection on EFnet


mIRC gets shit waaay in advance and gets good ass quality cause it ties with ftp's etcetera,the reason mIRC is somewhat unknown because it's difficult to use,it's based on alot of code and command shit and it takes brainpower(that most aren't willing to exert) to utiliza effectively,mIRC is a good bet if you can mentally handle it..peace-Tanjint

P Nelson:
:LOLL i thought u were the bootlegger...

Trauma-san:
Um, yeah, mirc is a good source, but thisguy doesn't use mirc as a source.  Why, because he's the one breaking the stuff to mirc, on CMS... he's getting his way before MIRC, then ripping it and putting it on the channel.
