It's gonna make you sad ?

And i was'nt trying to be funny , just my miserable thoughts on this poor subject
Selling an item that may have already had a pricetag or wasn't meant for public consumption is not the same as selling something someone intentionally gave out for free.

In the case of the Blue Mountain gig. You have a band like Underworld who put a lot of work into providing the material for that. Rather than keep it to themselves or release it commercially and make some money off their hard work they gave it out for free.

And now someone else is making money off THEIR hard work? Because they took the trouble of burning it to a CD? Come on. That's pretty messed up.
