I live overseas and find "credit card" the easiest way to
purchase. Of course there is a risk involved but you have to take the
risk. So far, I took the risk with MD ([email protected]) twice, and
he has delivered. I am currently waiting for "third" order which is
the $15 Sarajevo show. I made a post in Wire regarding my worries
about ace not delivering this time. However, I had just been informed
that I have a parcel waiting in the mail, so I'd assume it is the CD.
For now, I am endorsing Ace's reliability and honesty. But if that
damn package waiting for me in the mailbox (I can't check til MOnday)
isn't the CD yet, then I'd be the first to flame him. But as I
repeat, I've had two successful dealings with him already. (Also, I've
dealt with MC Records once via credit card and they have delivered)

As for your talking about the illegality of bootlegging, that is
really a gray area in law since there can be no way to establish
international laws that are all-encompassing to all nations and
states. International law is established by customs and treaties
among others because in teh international sphere, a law cannot simply
be passed to encompass a country that does not practice such acts and
accept it as custom. This is because of differing cultures among
nations. So unless, counties sign international agreements or
treaties to declare the illegality of bootlegs, there will be nothing
intrinsically wrong.

The more binding question that will encompass all human beings
would be the morality or immorality of the act of purchasing bootlegs.
My "provisional" position is that there is nothing wrong with
purchasing bootlegs, and I thin many people share the same sentiments
because most of them have bootlegs.

So I don't feel guilty when I buy bootlegs.

Cheers,
