Hear! Hear!
(I have a few very treasured Roy Orbison bootlegs in my possession!)
Most songs I have are on CD bought from shops/ebay/ etc. Bootlegs just enhance my collection! For every bootleg I probably have 20 or thirty of the genuine article!
I think there are likely to be NO fans of any artist who ONLY have bootlegs in their collection! Most bootlegs are inferior to the genuine article, and we get them to get a different slant on a song, or they are precious to us because we were at the concert where they were recorded.
I don't honestly think any artist is worse off because fans have bootlegs - they are an addition to, not a replacement for genuine songs.
Just my thoughts.
Heather.
