How exactly would that be copyright infringment?

He was probably selling them.
Look at the variety.

Or Avril's angry gorillas/bodyguards framed him...

Or they were recordings of bands who do not allow taping/"bootlegging"? (Mixed in with those that do.)

He must be, I can't see why else?

I just burried all of mine in the backyard. They should be safe there!

I would have to guess that there was proof he was selling them or had the "intent" to sell them. If its just for the possession of them, there would be alot more criminals out there.

it was at a store in hamilton selling them

Got some more dirt...

Bootlegs busted!
Hamilton, ON – Unveiling over 3,000 bootleg copies of live shows by artists like Shania Twain and Avril Lavigne, police said yesterday that new technologies are making it easier for music pirates to stay in business. The musical works were seized in mid-June at a music memorabilia sale at a Hamilton hotel, but made public by the RCMP after a man was charged with five counts of copyright infringement. The stash - which authorities called one of the largest finds of illegally recorded concert footage ever in Canada - included performances at venues in Canada and the U.S. Artists included Canada's Nickelback, the Guess Who, Bryan Adams, Neil Young, the Tragically Hip, the Barenaked Ladies, as well as international acts like the Rolling Stones, the Who and Bruce Springsteen.
RCMP said they confiscated 1,140 DVDs, 1,570 VHS tapes, 340 CDs, 50 audio cassettes and five CD-Rs at the June 13 event in Hamilton. Equipment used to make copies of the concerts at the flea-market-style sale was also seized. Authorities said the street value of the material was upwards of $100,000. "These are concerts which aren't readily available on the market. They're very unique," said RCMP Cpl. Michelle Paradis. "The Johnny Cash 1969 concert can fetch hundreds of dollars." She said the nature of bootlegs has changed in recent years, thanks to advances in technologies like high-quality camcorders. "The quality of the Johnny Cash tape is much lower than more recently produced concerts like the Nickelback one in Hamilton in March. The quality (of the latter) is not that bad."

ok so let me know when the police auction will be

Boo. Never buy bootlegs. It just encourages thiefs, and deters bands from letting us tape.

I know! But it was the only way i could get my Hammilton bootlegs.......nobody else would help me out....... and it was when i first started my boot collection (okay 1 year after)
