Bootlegs are great if you can't get a real copy of it. And it's also great if you just can't wait for the movie to come out on video. I downloaded JASBSB a few months after it came out in theatres so I could watch it before the DVD release. And on that day, I bought the DVD. That's how bootlegging and mp3's should work. Listen and watch and if you like it, buy it. If you don't, get rid of the thing. Of course, some people are too selshish to shell out some cash to support things they like and hence ruin it for the rest of us. so, thank you for that...

: I love bootlegs, have many, used to be the only way to get HardBoiled, Bullet in the head, and Eraserhead...
: Funny thing is, every bootleg I've ever owned, I also bought the "official" copy whenever it was made available...
: Yes, something that is new and aint had a chance to release is one thing, but I'm willing to bet we've all got a few "generic" box cover tapes roaming around somewhere!
: I hear ya Lynch, but don't you have a few Argento, or John Woo tapes in the closet somewhere? With the growth of DVD and such they're less common, but it's still an age-old form of fandom...
: Kev even refered to Godzilla Bootlegs, which we all own!
