Bootlegging is wrong, morally reprehensible, and totaly illegal.......so Ive always thought. But, there again, the copying of records IS allowed for private use and in this case entirely justified. If we made it a point of honour (and its patently obvious that most Mudcatters are a very honourable lot) to send a fitting contribution to the Joneses, this could be a very fair solution to the problem. All wed need to know is the address for the contributions and have an agreement to reimburse each other for whatever costs we have. Most of us have personal pages, so it doesnt all have to be done openly. Could be Im treading on pretty thin legal ice here. Let me know what you think.

P.S. Ive got a copy of his second record ``Nic Jones´´ in front of me this very minute!!
