On the bootleg subject - of the many 'leggers' who spend time re-editing and 'playin' around with a choon - some have found the internet to be a great source of feedback to allow such mixers as Miss Frenchie and others to get national airplay on the radio.
In other words - it's thru downloading and listening to the remixed-track, playin it at gigs and giving audience feedback back to the legger (or via their forums) to encourage their advance up the 'status ladder'.
Without bootleggers - white labels or underground mix's - the dance, club, radio and mobile disco scene would be a little different, eh?
A Good bootleg - nothing wrong in that, in my books.
Thought for the second
Promotion is a very used word in grey areas.
