There is a recent book out that may be of interest to those wishing to trade "bootleg" tapes: Enterprising Women by Camille Bacon-Smith, University of Pennsylvania Press. It's about fans of Star Trek and other TV shows who make and trade (and even creatively alter) tapes of certain shows; they also write fiction based on characters in the shows. The author suggests that they get away with this activity because none of them make any money off it. Some fan groups are seen by the industry as asset even. The book raises lots of interesting questions for me, not just about intellectual property laws but also about uses/effects of the media, etc. I highly recommend it.
