    Not saying I agree with what this ebay seller is doing, but why does a member of this forum able to openly sell shirts inspired by Pearl Jam and their songs while making a profit doing so?

    And yet the world keeps spinning. Seriously, you probably bought a better shirt than what was available at the show. It should bother you a lot more that multi-millionaires peddle cheap shit at inflated prices to pad their already fat wallet.

    if the guy sell his tshirts as fakes for $20 saying that "is fake" I would buy one from each city, but like I said I want to have that choice.

    I may agree but they're not saying that they're selling the "real deal" those are more fan art or something like it, but YOU know where those tshirts come from.

    I understand what your saying. I'm just saying that you likely got a better T than the "real" one so I wouldn't be too bummed out. I'm sure that you can get your money back if you really wanted to.

    I created my own sports style shirt months ago (avatar), but did it solely for the purpose of wanting to create a design with two things I am passionate about. Furthermore, I only made ONE shirt, just for me.

    I think the sellers on ebay making (stealing the design) these bootleg shirts are scumbags

    technically wouldn't a fake shirt be one that was painted on or not real in some way

    these shirts are real and the seller states that they are not from the show

    a bit shady and uncreative but all things considered

    bootleg shirts have been going on for years before Grateful Dead fans where pushing them out in parking lots

    Why? People like the shirts. PJ sold all of the ones that they made. Sure, people are profiting off of PJ without their consent and that kind of sucks I suppose. I would wager that if PJ made more of these shirts, there would not be bootlegs of them available. Plus PJ's merch quality has been worse than Hitler lately. Spend the extra 2 bucks and get proper shirts for Christ's sake.

    I agree with you when it comes to the quality of the shirts, however, the one I got last night is a lot better than those I have purchased in the past. I washed it already and it came out looking/feeling a lot better than my other PJ tour shirts. I also bought one at LA 1 and it appears to be a lot better quality than some of my other PJ merch shirts I have bought

    The last decent quality merch that I bought on tour was in 2003 and I don't know why I keep wasting money on it -- must be a disease. Even the 10C shirts that I have bought lately (2006 LA poster, reaper, black gold, etc) have been shit quality shirts. One man can only wear so many Bandwagon tees.

    I personally would not want a bootleg. Therefore if someone knew of a bootleg item being sold, it would be appreciated by me if they let me know.

    To me that is a good reason to care enough to post about it.

    You should look into the Ames Bros. Shirts that are in the store, awesome quality.

    Actually... I don't mind.
    I mean, it's partly OUR fault. We are the idiots handing over 300 bucks for a 35 dollar t-shirt.
    We are the reasons WHY people see dollar signs... why a 6'5", 275 lb. man buys the 12 remaining small Dodgers shirts.
    We deserve it because... we are fucking idiots.
    ...
    I say... fuck it. I like the Dodgers... and I like Pearl Jam. And I like the Pearl Jam Dodgers shirt. Maybe I'll pick one up... I don't care if it's a knock off. I'm not going to prolong these idiotic, inflated prices. I just want a fucking T-shirt.
    If I paid 300 bucks for one... a Pearl Jam T-shirt would be the most expensive thing in my entire wardrobe.
    Fuck that. I am not an idiot.

    Thanks. I don't like the look of those Ames shirts though.

    Most of the shirts I bought from the 10C site (Bandwagon, Old West, Brown Reaper, LBC, Killer, Green Disease) are good quality shirts. It was the batch of shirts in 2006 that were crap quality (and all of the tour T's post-2003 have been useless).

    seriously

    I am not necessarily happy that someone is selling bootleg shirts

    but hey if you are dumb enough to buy something on ebay without reading the description then you get what you deserve.
