holy shit, this is a lot of bootlegs!
http://www.negativereinforcementshirts.com/
http://stores.ebay.com/negativereinforcementfl
Is this the site that was discussed about 8-10 months ago?
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

It's one of those things where if you can't get it legit from the artist, do itI If not...
If I was an artist, I don't know what I would hate worse, if I made a shirt and it sold out and not some kid on eBay is making HUGE bank off of it, or
some bootlegger is making them himself and making bank off of them.

if more people/bands would make pre-orders available for shirts then i would buy from them. but most of the shirts i have are bootlegs. i need a 4xl.
along the way some kick ass people/bands have made shirts available for me.
speaking of which my shirt and jacket have been mailed. i hope they get there in time and will work.

I'm not against the occasional bootleg shirt for a band (or design) that you just cant get. I do have a problem with somone that seems to be earning
an income selling hundredes of bootlegs and some of them are active bands!
I mean seriously, who the hell would bootleg a Dropdead shirt!? they are active and super indie and they have TONS of designs they sell mailorder!
All that being said, I have some bootleg shirts that I wear.

Also.... Its hard to pay the prices that some 'bands' or 'people' have put on their shirts. A while back I wanted a JFA shirt and to get one through
the 'official site' was over $20, thats insane to me! Same thing for anyone that wants an SSD shirt. Al sells them on the XClaim site for $25! one
color, single side shirt for $25?!?! insanity!

It's not like this kid is getting rich of band "x"s shirt. I seriously doubt he's getting rich at all. But if he can make a couple bucks because he's
organized enough to go through the effort to make shirts for bands X, Y, Z, A, G and F I'm not going to spend a whole lot of time feeling guilty about
buying something from him if I wanted it.
I bet when you send this kid you $11 you get your shirt in a week, but if you sent the band/label $20 (similar to Honus' statement) you'd wait 3
months to get it in the wrong size.
I understand people from bands not wanting to get ripped off for their designs. They can easily solve it. Print the shirts themselves and sell them on
eBay for .01 less.

Problem is that with some of those bands the shirts ARE available. Dropdead is the best example of that.

Well whoever it is, they certainly know their Taang! Records bands. I mean, who's out looking for a Moving Targets shirt? I used to love those guys,
but did they even sell shirts when they were together?

Unless those bands take action with him he's going to keep selling them. How many Dropdead shrits can that guy possibly be selling though. I'd guess
he doesn't even have shirts made, just screens sitting there. seems like a lot of effort for a band to go through over 2 or 3 shirts possibly getting
printed.

I got in touch with him about the Slapshot shirt a long time ago and he just ignored my emails and keeps selling it (or at least keeps offering it for
sale). I actually mentioned to a few people about maybe doing a reprint of the 'Men are Men & the Meat is Red' shirt and they said why do that one,
Negative Reinforcement already has it. That bummed me out because not only is it a bootleg, its a SHITTY bootleg!
I'm sure hes not making that much money on bands like Slapshot or Dropdead, but its just the whole idea of bootlegging active bands that I dont like.

I agree, it's shitty...but what are you really going to do. You're basically going to spend dollars of your time fighting for pennies in the end. Then
this guy has ripped off your ideas and your time.

bought my Poison Idea shirt with a flyer drawing of a gigantic Pic Champion from this site, they've got some good shirts, lot's of which you can't
find anywhere else. Fucked up the shipping, lost one in the mail then spaced out sending me the replacement, but I recieved a free Descendents shirt
as well when I finally got it
record collectors are pretentious assholes
