frank not gonna like this one i feel

the replies

i don't understand people who defend bootlegs

do they realize that this is 100 times worse than pirating music ?

Also these are albums easily found on streaming

It’s not like Aaliyah or other artists/albums that aren’t easily accessible

if you honestly bought this thinking it was a legit vinyl you deserved to be scammed for more than $39

imagine the folks that bought this s***

this is even worse holy s***

I'm just trying to understand, why not bootleg if the album doesn't have an official release? Especially if there's a low chance of an official vinyl release, such as channel orange. Also, blonde isn't ever getting repressed on vinyl, and those prices aren't going down, so I understand people buying boots of that too.

frank account complaining about ''scams''
stfu your goat a scam

bought all of em

first you're stealing someone's intellectual property by using their music without their agreement, and then you're making money from it.

the fact that there aren't any official releases doesn't matter

Yeah, I see your point. The morals are def sketchy, but to them, that's business. They saw a market with demand and are capitalizing on it. While I think it's immoral, they're probably making a kiilling, and that's capitalism for you.

there’s also a demand for a lot of illegal things doesn’t mean major corporations whole heartedly fill the void

this is like me downloading blonde, ripping it on cd and making thousands of dollars selling it at amoeba lmao it’s illegal and an infringement of copyright

it's not just immoral, it's totally illegal lol

doubt Frank will sue, but if he did they would be in deep s***

This random

No, they don't press the records, they're just a retailer. I think since they just are a retailer it's legal, like my local brick and mortar record store will sell some old zeppelin and springsteen boots.

twice the price of official records, way worse quality

also, i will note that while id buy these in a heartbeat if they were good sound quality and were with permission of frank.

this what he gets for taking 16 months to ship me 1 7" record buy all them bootlegs f*** frank ocean
