At the risk on treading on the toes of "ibuyshite"
I guess you did :) See below:

Hello, on the subject of the bootlegs, I did actually buy one of these CDs from that seller on ebay and was well chuffed as I havent got access to a CD burner, and it was as good quality as any other CD i have.
But you do have internet access and know from this mailinglist that the stuff sold on that CD is available freely on brandnew.co.uk. And PCs can play MP3s too, you don't HAVE to have a burner for that.
It also came with a good quality cover which I wouldnt of been able to do either, as well as some other bits n bobs. These bootlegs on ebay werent released by the KLF and due to their deleting the back catalogue its hard to get stuff by them for a decent price, in the UK anyhow. So I think its a bit bad that you people are slagging someone off for making a small bit of cash.
It IS bad since the creator of the interviews should have been contacted if someone wanted to sell his material commercially. He wasn't asking money for it on his website, but he isn't saying you can make a profit from his freely provided material either, is he?
Anyone doing stuff like this should be encouraged as they're making money for themselves not through working for tax paying scum making pointless shite, and remember its your taxes that fund wars or funding the lavish lifestyles of people who burn £1,000,000!
Wowowo! Don't start the war discussion again! It's not related to this topic at *all*! And especially don't use it as an argument to not pay taxes, that's even cheaper. And don't use *that* argument at all to defend ripping people off. You can not rip people off because you think you shouldn't pay taxes. That's as strange as you can get!
Its not that I think that was bad or anything but couldnt YOU be spending more time doing something constructive than wing! ing about someone selling a CD for a fiver. The KLF have moved on and so should you!
Who's wining now then? This is not about The KLF, but about someone ripping a mailinglist member off. That has nothing to do with The KLF.
As for the bit about David Icke, well isnt his work is a less 'fictional' version of what Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shae were saying in the Illuminatus trilogy (which is where the name 'The Jamms' came from), surely helping get information on how corrupt governments are aint a bad thing, even if you dont believe the bit about other dimensions/aliens and all that spiritual stuff, there is nothing negative about his work. If you think he's a fool then take it for entertainment value!
Ehm? Ok... (?)
Either way is it really worth taking more than 10 seconds out of your valuable life to winge about?! The shit will soon be hitting the fan and its time to define your priorities.
