I know how you feel. Around 2000 I was designing a lot of the bootleg covers that you have at the moment...
anyway I went to a CD fair and most of you probably know the prices they charge, but they were selling wembley 2nd night with my artwork that i designed for £35
I also noticed them selling one that I put onto CD from cassette years ago: munich '88 i think for £20...
i hate ebay too - people sell flyers on there for £3 + £1 P&P - and these are the same flyers i can walk to the apollo right now and pick up about 40 of... it really pisses me off
you have a right to be angry - especially considering, while we're not doing it for the money it's dam annoying to know that our work is being used by others to make more in one sale! than we would in a year just copying for minimal costs etc, or for friends...
I don't agree with official music being shared - but i think everyone has a right to live music if it exists - the artists should release it if they want money for it and we'd all gladly pay to have a recording 20x as good quality.
