This Email group for Church fans has seen a few assumptions about bootleg
CD's.

I am not defending anyone dealing with unauthorized live music recordings
 bootleg ). Laws vary greatly around the world on this subject.
International laws are also inconsistent. A "bootleg" CD is not
automatically illegal. Many imported recordings available are perfectly
legal to sell, buy and own.

See the following for further info:

Bootleg: The Secret History of the Other Recording Industry
by Clinton Heylin. Some great history and detail on the subject.

ICE Magazine  Detail on all aspects of domestic and imputed releases
