As a musician and partner in a new small label I can't see any argument for bootlegging - period. We've just released our first album by DELPH and have had great difficulties in sorting out distribution (one of our distributors recently went bust -nothing to do with us: ) ) so we can't always get our records where we want them. We'd love to have them in every store worldwide but it just doesn't work that way for our size of operation. Yes we do mail order but not everybody wants to buy like that. We run on an extremely tight budget and I mean extremely... :) Basically we do what we do for the love of the music and that's it - to see your hard work being ripped off by a bootlegger whether it be MP3, CD duplication or whatever...sorry it doesn't wash. If you're going to do it do it properly and have respect for the music, the fans and the artists. Thanks for listening.
