Bootlegs ( realm of the forbidden )

[Stephen Golden -27100 <goldes@cctw13.fw.gs.com>]

As I was doing some shopping this weekend, I 
started to wonder HOW bootleggers get away with
what they do....I can imagine how someone could
tape a concert they go to, or somehow get early
Kate Demo's, and how they could probably get
some CD pressing place to press them ( actually,
what is done to make CDs, and where is that
done? ), but how do they manage to avoid getting
caught when they start selling.  I would imagine
that it would be fairly easy for EMI/Columbia to
go to a well known bootleg store ( or mail order
through Goldmine ), find out who the suppliers are
and press major charges.  Is it just not worth their
time, or are the bootleggers somehow clever enough
to elude?  Just my curiousity getting the best of me.
