It used to be a Butch C/UP anway....however, if no one would be able to play a curent "indemander" we wouldn`t have such as the people who normally deliver these goods are not the most fequently booked DJ`s anyway. Of course anyone who buys the original 45 or acetate has got a right to play it out. If no one else would have gone behind Johnny Howard it wouldn`t have become such a massive tune at all (again..agree with Pete S here). If the DJ in question credits the DJ "source" the better it is, if not, not a problem really IMO.
Bootlegs ? Never. Militant action ? No, simply ignore these people.
All that would be needed s a bit more of sensible feeling from the DJ`s involved...no need to hear the tune of the month(s) ten times a night...
But I think we discuss the "unwritten rule" here anyway...
Thats my point of view.
