What is a bootleg?
Well obviously I'm aware of what a bootleg is. A few years ago I got some game scores for a pretty decent price, and only now I realized that they're most likely bootleg CDs. So my question is: what exactly qualifies my CDs as bootlegs? All the packaging and artwork and booklets included were there, and the discs themselves look okay. Why aren't these "legit?" And if it's illegal, how did the seller obtain the liner notes and artwork and all that? Honestly I thought a bootleg was someone just burning a copy of an official disc and then making some makeshift label. If the online store managed to acquire the packaging and everything that's included with the CD anyway, why is it considered counterfeit? I never really gave this idea much thought till now.
Jam it back in, in the dark.  |

Seems like it's more work to make a convincing forgery than actually selling the legitimate product in the first place, especially when it comes to reproducing the booklets and things inside the CD case. Dang that sucks.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
