He sold his original copies, now he selling bootleg copies.

He doesn't have rights to them?

 

[lifesourcerec]

He does. He had some copies made (Re-releases) and trying to sell them for $90-$100 each. The OG copies ain't worth that. If you read the description, he's talking in 3rd person as if it's not him. It's him though from Mt. Juliet, TN and ran down-south.com

i don't get it... he has limited edition re-release printed on the artwork and release date copyright of 2001, 2016..

How is it a bootlegs?

 

[lifesourcerec]

He sold (apparently) an original copy of Double Crossa as unreleased for $999. Now he selling so called limited unreleased re-releases for $99. Just waiting on the re-re-release limited unreleased for $79. You don't see the issue with that? That's worse than Phillip's re-releases.

It's a rip-off, not a bootleg.

It's a bootleg when you release the exact same tracks without a barcode and different home made graphics. It's on the same level as a mixtape.

I wouldn't call it a bootleg since he has rights to it, and he isn't trying to recreate the original either. He does clearly describe it as a re-release and so does the artwork. I would however say that it's a complete waste of money and worth nothing anywhere near that, but if a buyer wants to buy it, they aren't really getting cheated or tricked on anything, they would just be really stupid. But technically it's not a bootleg, it's not an unauthorized reproduction

A bootleg is something someone has no rights to, but tries to recreate as original and put that up for sale.
