The bootleg discussion

I just wanted to take a moment and clarify something that has recently come up. The term bootleg is used around here quite a bit, and I wanted to elaborate on it.

As far as I am concerned with MY blog posts(I think Murphy and JayBil agree but I won’t speak for them), a bootleg shirt does not just refer to a crust punk pumping out Youth of Today 4 sided shirts in his basement in Chile. As far as I am concerned, even if the shirt is “licensed” by the band years later, that does not make it official. It’s remake. A bootleg.

Questions, comments? Let’s hear them!
