I dunno, if the tunes are copyrighted, bootlegging the stuff is stealing and indefensible on any grounds. I can easily see why a label could upset about this. On another subject, I finally decided to check out the Orbital 'Times Fly' single and liked how they included the original samples they used for their breaks in the slower version of the title song. Any recommendations in terms of other tunes that use slow, clean-sounding breaks? It's stylistically refreshing in comparison to most breakbeat stuff which always seems to run at the same tempo and sounds somewhat muddy. GD
