    It costs nothing and it's really easy to do.

    CD-R auctions get closed so often? I've seen many Pearl Jam promo CDR's that were only released in CDR format. Not silver CD. And those don't get closed down. It is scary at time's trying to score one of these.

    relative to bootlegged vinyl

    Ok... And?
    The "silver bootleg" I'm selling is not a copy and is noted as that in the auction as well as a picture of the item. It's extremely obvious when cd bootlegs are original or cd-r copies.
    I'm selling a single copy on ebay and I get cancelled... But it's ok for soundstage, whose based out of the Pennslyvania, to sell them? Mine is an import as well. It has a purple import stamp on it.

    "The operation is so small it not worth it" ?????????? "It might create i'll will"?????????????
    I"M ONE PERSON!!!! EVEN SMALLER!!!!!!! AND I"M A FAN!!!!!!!!

    They're 'legal' because they're produced outside the US with less stringent copyright laws. Oversees manufacturing a small-scale bootleg operation is akin to driving over the speed limit. This is why they're always labeled as "imports".

    If they were produced in the U.S. they would be blatantly illegal.

    And yes all they're doing is taking bootlegged shows slapping them onto vinyl, changing the words from "we can only afford X amount of copies" to "limited edition of X amount"

    What Records gets to profit off of someone elses art and makes: $$$$
    Pearl Jam makes: $0

    Usually the operation is so small that it's not worth the band's efforts to shut down the operation (and it may generate ill-will).

    The risk of selling counterfeit/pirated items (whether its beknownst to ther seller) is much higher with CD's than vinyl.
    It's illegal.

    Also, after looking at the label's main website it seems that they have a lot of broadcasts as their source audio. To me this means they probably fish out broadcasts and early recordings whose copyrights have since expired by European laws.

    Easy big fella...I'm on your side. Your auction got shut down because it's easy to do so and at that time Santos was purusing through auctions and shutting them down. It's just luck of the draw.

    Here's one thing that I've noticed. If the PJ item, is also sold on Amazon, & stores across the country & abroad, that hasn't been pulled off the shelves for a very long time, I believe these CD/DVD/Vinyl releases (1992 Broadcasts, Under Review, House Of Blues '03) were given the OK from Pearl Jam Co. to sell. That they get royalties from these releases. That is why it's OK. Haywood Yablomee, the bootleg's you talk about (http://members.core.com/10/C7/ryan/pj/) are releases PJ hasn't given the green light to. Bootlegs created by companies that hasn't given PJ the ok to release. I have dozens & dozens of these silver CD bootlegs. From Kiss The Stone records to Oxygen Records etc.. these were companies selling illegal products that couldn't be sold at your local Best Buy, Walmart, Tower Records etc.. shops. But the 1992 Broadcasts, Under Review, House Of Blues '03 releases, you can buy them. I saw the Pearl Jam Under Review @ my local Zellers store last month. It's all very weird.
