I don't think the argument was essentially anti oldies or anti bootlegs.
Without the oldies there would not be a scene.
bootlegs- fine for your own use.
However, the whole point about this scene used to be to listen to, dance to etc RARE, as in not widely known, soul music
You had to travel,usualy, to find the Clubs that had the tunes.
Nowadays,with a night starting every week, any one with a 50 box of pressings can be a superstar and play a 'brilliant' set, chances are that you'll find something at the end of your street, so travelling not required.
Ah well,
