Common probably at one time has bought a bootleg knowing it is one in fact. Listen artists who are against bootlegging mp3s on the net. I have this to say "THEY USUALLY HAVE BOOTLEGGED RECORDINGS IN THEIR HOME IF THEY ARE A AUDIOPHILE " I mean im sorry to step on the people...who dont want mp3s passed around on the net if they are there Im going to listen to them. And if Common thinks I wont buy his lp when it comes out...because I listened to it on mp3 then eff it. But for any of YOU okayplayers to side with Quest or...D'angelo on Bootlegs remember one thing ...Theres a whoooole lot of PRINCE and MILES Im sure they can indulge you in. You cant llive on one side of the fence and then hop back. THERE IS NO WAY WHATSOEVER. And that is what artists do who dont understand mp3s on the net. Thats your biggest fan listening to your music...maybe you should consider who you gave the promo to...instead of the person downloading it... (Words to think about)<P>My view is this if the unreleased stuff can be heard Im going to listen to it. Eeff what anyone thinks... Thats the way I feel. I have prince bootlegs and Hendrix Bootlegs and dont feel any guilt listening to them. Its very good work... and if they released it I would buy it but they dont so they lose out. Simple thing to understand.
