This phenomenom is excellent for sample music since it's raising
awareness of intellectual property issues in a fun way, without once
waving a flag or banging a drum about it - it has an accessible and
friendly face and is setting an example by practice alone. This kind
of face will of course be kicked in over the next few months, but the
damage is done now.
However, I think the best thing about this bootleg thing is it's
going to piss off elitist followers of experimental music, who HATE
accessibility, yayyy! Eat that - "Experimental Music Magazine",
journalist and chin stroking whiner. Ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaarrrr!!!!

"It's about using the sample in a way that it doesn't directly rip off the sound of the original... It's a shame that has been done as often as it has. It means that the price of buying samples is enormous. We think just paying respects in the sleeve is probably enough but the courts disagree." - Darren Feltmann of The Avalanches
