Probably not. For the last couple of years, ever since he was "exiled" to
the USA, he's been licensing old TG & PTV material to various labels
(Dossier, Thirsty Ear) without bothering to involve or share royalties with
Chris, Cosey, Peter and John, so the concept of bootlegging shouldn't be
totally alien to him. His argument seems to to be that he is in great need
of money. Rumour has it that at one point he was even planning to demand
money from bands and people that have used the PTV cross (the one with the
three cross bars) through the years. Like Christ demanding royalties from
everyone wearing a crucifix.
