OK Man, don't believe it. But think about this...how do you think these bootleggers all have the SAME exact FULL LENGTH albums from MAJOR records labels all out at the same exact time, no matter where you go..brookyln, queens, staten island, canal, dtown mhanttan. You think these albums pop up from thin air. It is very big business. There are distribution networks that deliver the CDs to bootleggers either on consignment or on a per CD basis. Yes, many of the distribution centers are crooked, being this is an illegal business, but consider that artists and labels themselves leak out the CDs on purpose to make a little extra money, and generate some hype before release date.
