If Bootlegs are "bad", C-Side loses *plenty* of points.  Their ad in the
September 4 _Goldmine_ is nine or ten column-inches of virtually nothing
*but* bootlegs (oh, excuse me -- "rare European live albums").  A quick
scan of IG's full-page ad in the same issue didn't reveal any obvious
boots -- they may be there, but IG doesn't seem to make a career out of it.   

(By the way -- C-Side is trolling for live Tori Amos stuff in that ad, and
I don't have any reason to doubt that they'd slap a price sticker on it if
they got their hands on some.  Chris and Vickie's "moral-superiority"-
based support of C-Side over IG seems pretty poorly-grounded to me . . . I
don't care where you guys buy your stuff, but if you're going to make a
public case of it, I wish you'd make your arguments internally consistent.)
