If this is true then it's a disgrace in my book, bit like having your cake and eating it so to speak, I've moved loads of rare records over the years and it never entered my head to get a dub/carver cut, cheating really, sell it be done with it and move on with something else, far too many short cut's being taken these day's and it really goes against the grain being that the basis of this scene is about rare and hard to find records in many instances, unissued and preserving rare one off's etc. is common sense and a different issue I'm talking about doing a carver of some shit rare hard to find gem like some of the stuff being sold on Ebay for example, total bollocks for pretend DJ's and shame on anyone who cut's a dub off their original and sells it on and even worse if they did'nt own the record in the first place, holding these dubs/carvers or whatever you want to call them is a total nonsence they have no collectable value, they are as already stated totally illegal and playing them at a venue holds no substance or credability it's just being totally lazy and void of any passion or respect for the records in the first place, just another shitty little practice that seems to go on.
