Yes, true. My (badly expressed) point was that, in itself, thats not a
good reason for bootlegging something. And that one occasional reason
why people start their own label is a disatisfaction with others.
My point about starting a label is that bootlegging releases gives
little back to the IDM scene - it doesn't support the artist or the
label you're bootlegging and it won't encourage new listeners (because
the boots will still be limited runs and hard to get hold of, outisde
the internet). Starting a label however and seeing it through gives
support to new artists and gives the fan another name to check out, one
they might get into and be keen to support.

Potentially, it might do. I'm sure Mask would be more open to a label
coming up to them and striking a deal for a license/re-press rather than
someone bootlegging them.
