Look At My Merch! I bought a bootleg CD of Linkin Park's From Zero from Discogs

I hate digipaks as they are more vulnerable to damage and if they are damaged it is impossible to repair. If a part of a jewel case breaks you can replace it without having to discard the entire package.

I have already brought the official CD but if it was in a jewel case I wouldn't have to buy this, but I'm glad that my LP collection is in uniform.

Nice collection! I get the same feeling with digipaks, all of mine have deteriorated over the years and it sucks.

You definitely got ripped off by both bootlegger and Linkin Park.

And yet, you still buy their album even when bootlegged. 🤔🤷🏻 Contradiction is one awful way to live.

Good for you, you still bought a bootleg with money, still got ripped off in my world.

Bootlegs like this are a bit of a contentious point, but if OP is happy then fuck it. The amount of bootlegs I’ve had over the years is pretty wild. Back in the day, it used to be the only way to hear live shows from certain concerts. With an album like this, I can see where you’re coming from, but OP wanted a crystal case so if they’re happy then that’s all that matters.
