mfat,

Don't sweat the terms. The words "boot" and "bootleg" are used by most
8-trackers to describe pirate tapes. I believe that it is actually the
preferred term.

mfat,
I agree, don't sweat the terms. It's the cart that counts, and you've got
a very cool one.
Since I often make field recordings, the differences between "bootlegging"
and "pirating" are important to me. Bootlegs have some protection under U.S.
copyright law; pirates have none.
For those that simply play around with 8-tracks, the terms don't seem to
matter.
I do confess to preferring to use the terms properly, whatever the
"preferred term" may be. later, ron

That's alright. Just WATCH what you say to mfat while he's around here. This
goes for EVERYONE.

Try to control yourself awlso, mfat. And while you're at it, try to remember
that this newsgroup is infested with LOTS of Kong-like critters.

There's an interesting book by Clinton Heylin called Bootleg: The Secret
History of the Other Recording Industry in which he makes distinctions between
pirated material, bootleg material, and audience taping. Pirated material is
illegitimate copies of legitimate albums sold for profit. Bootlegs are
materials that were never meant to be released (live recordings, studio out
takes, albums unreleased for whatever reason, etc.) that have been pressed and
sold for profit. Audience recordings are generally nonprofessionally recorded
performances that are usually traded and not sold. These are distinctions that
the powers that be in the recording industry choose not to make, preferring to
lump everything together. It's really an interesting book if the subject matter
interests you at all.
