Again - what if Mask decide to re-issue the 12"s or do a comp. CD?
Bootlegs (esp. if popular and widely dispersed) could well affect these
sales. And once more - has anyone asked Mask to see if this money (which
is unlikely to be much) would be welcome? Are they strictly against
bootlegging or don't they care?
But thats just the financial support. Some of the artists might not want
their tracks re-issued or (especially) bootlegged for whatever reasons.
The "rip-off" aspect applies to artistic issues as well as financial
ones.

A bootleg "was in order"? Are there IDM label police around whose job it
is to ensure 'fairness'? Because you've got a big fucking job on your
hands.

Naturally. If something is rare and it has a fanbase (however small),
there will be a demand that outstrips supply.

Great. What if someone decides to rip them off for whatever reason? What
if you want to run the label full-time and need every
penny/cent/whatever you can get but everyone prefers the much cheaper
bootlegs that are going round?
Sorry to anyone who isn't interested in this thread - if anyone wants
I'll take it private email.
