Bootleg Recordings Policy
Bootleg Recordings Policy
Bootleg recordings are unauthorised recordings of concerts or live performances. We don’t allow advertising for bootleg recordings on
WantAd.
Bands, performers, writers, and publishers usually own the copyright to live performances, so they have the right to determine when and how performances can be reproduced. Unless the reproduction of a concert or performance is authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law, it's considered an unauthorised or "bootleg" copy. Advertising for and subsequently purchasing unauthorised copies is against the law and not allowed on WantAd.
Not allowed:
Bootleg recordings are not allowed to be advertised for on WantAd. Here are some examples:
• An audience recording of Bob Dylan’s 1979 concert in Philadelphia that was purchased from a street vendor who was not authorised to make this recording by Bob Dylan, his agent, or the law.
• Bootleg recordings made while travelling around the world with the Rolling Stones.
WantAd urges its users to comply with all governmental laws and regulations. It’s illegal to sell bootleg recordings. This is why we
don't allow these items to be advertised for on WantAd. This policy also helps protect buyers from purchasing illegal merchandise and
helps intellectual property rights owners protect their rights.
