It's not the seller's mashups, though, it's many different people's! All he's done is to download MP3's (freely) from the web, and burnt them onto a blank CDR! :-)

It's about as illegal as breaking the copyright of the original songs in the first place. I don't see any false marketing, he's made a mashup of unreleased mixes, false marketing would be if he claimed Bill or Jimmy had made/mixed/released these. If people want to spend their money on this kind of thing, that's their business, seems totally reasonable in the spirit of "kopyright" to me.

Isn't it a little bit illegal to burn a CD and put it up for sale? A CD, which consist of FREE tracks, which can be downloaded from anywhere? Isn't this a little bit false marketing, or what?

15 pounds for a CD-R...I still can't believe it.
Believe it - especially with the preponderance of limited editions (50-100) released by the more underground, cutting edge labels (all of which seem to have escaped this list) these days. I've seen cdr editions (label releases, mind you) go for 100 gbp - and as more and more labels either bite the dust (2006 saw many of them fold up shop), go completely digital/download for release or switch off to cdr release only, you're going to see more and more of it. Again, it depends on where you look...granted, this is the KLF list, but the general tenor of this list is quite trapped in the early 90s. Most of what gets mentioned here is either ancient (and justified :-) or quite commercial as either dance music OR electronic music goes. Of course, I know *this* post was referring to a home-burn and not to label releases, but there you have it.
