Very good points Ian. Thats exactly the reason why you won`t find one single bootlegged/self-burnt CD in my house. It is very much natural that those re-issue companies had to go bust one day when the majority (not only of all people but also of a lot of Soulies) has bootleg CD`s at home. But then again its the devil that came with this monster called personal computer / Internet and CD`s which were brought upon us by the industry itself back in the day.
I only feel sorry for all the small companies, especially those who pay their debts of course and do hope that the remaining companies especially ACE/KENT will be with us "forever".
