I think the issue is that digital music can be reproduced without degregation in quality an infinite # of times while back in the analog world taping a tape sounded progressively worse..there was NEVER any issues about taping an album to be played in your car casette deck..also cd's can be burned at a speed which is a multiple of playback while tapes were 1 to 1 ratio...thus the quality and speed at which music could be bootlegged is at the heart of the issue IMHO
