[mb-users] Bootleg DiscIDs

[Frederic Da Vitoria]

Ok. But any of the existing categories can be official or bootleg.
Your suggestion would mean regrouping bootleg albums, bootleg VAs,
bootleg lives, bootleg compilations in one single category. This might
work with artists who don't have too many bootlegs, but I believe
there are some where most of the actual "releases" are bootleg.
Wouldn't this be a problem?
