Default Bootleggers Make Me Sick

Look what the damn bootleggers do:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=4886855149

They nab audio files that have been traded free for years, slap them onto a CD-R & then sell it as if it were an advance copy or a sneak peak or something that your only hope of getting is to pay for.

David, you're too cynical -- this is a find! It's SEALED, and it features the brand new songs "Land Is Always Alone," "Take You Long Long Way," "She Smiles Waiting," and many more!

It is sickening and the reason I don't look at the offerings. Although, I have seen the argument made that if they weren't traded to begin they would have been paid for from the beginning. But, IMO, anyone who makes a buck off someone who doesn't know any better yet seeks the "great find" is equally as guilty of taking advantage.

Don't forget "Down on Lonely Road!" Joe might have to change username when he hears it.

Ummm...if this is an eBay item, why doesn't somebody report it and have it expunged from the site? It obviously goes against eBay policy.

Unless it's changed, eBay policy has been that only the copyright holder can get these items removed through their VeRO program.

Holy crap,

he actually got $37 for it.
Yeah I agree David. It is a farce selling the bootlegs. However what the hell are all these new songs the guy is on about, i dont have a lot of them songs.

Who else has them and where can i get them ever so quick??????

Lindsey any money i owe you for all your unreleased stuff i have on my computer, i would gladly pay for if i could.
