yeh income aint from records sales so much any more, now its clothing lines, commericials, shows, wtever else. bootlegging will prob always be there, its too hard to stop entirely. i believe its a form of publicity. thats what tech n9ne feels as well, he says many pps buy an album for one or two good tracks, whereas now they can just bootleg it. if the artist is confident they have put out a solid album, not with just one dope track then they shouldnt feel insecure bout bootlegging. worked for me, i started off dloading some of tech n9ne's stuff, ended up loving it and bought absolute power. also with dloading music its available, here not many good albums are easily available to buy
