I do get what you are saying about MGE and the Q but bootlegs are, technically, not illegal unless explicitly prohibited by the band in question. Look at the Grateful Dead for a good example. They encouraged it and even reserved space in every concert for tapers. SELLING the recordings is where almost all draw the line.

No I dont mean that. Bootlegs are illegal in general. A lot of people on the Q are hardcore traders but its more an issue of Metal God Entertainment being there that we can no longer trade Priest and Halford bootlegs openly.

Not true. Bootlegs have been around LONG before the Q and were freely traded here, there and via bit torrent. Ask Maple if you have any doubts. That you and others seemed to have paid for the Toronto show "breaks all the laws." Traders do not sell.

Well the bootleg issue on the Q is more for LEGAL reasons ever since Metal God Entertainment.
