I think that what happened with the Predotor OST is a clare example of why there are bootlegs in the database.This soundtrack was one of the most wanted and some small label release it, but since they are not the rights owner, neither they have the distribution rights, cannot be presented as an oficial release.But since too many people was interested, the title was added to the database to have records of it.Same is the case for the Alien 2cd memory records edition, and many other soundtracks.
Another interesting thing is the fact that to have an oficial release of this kind of OST, must to pay a GREAT deal of money to own the rights.Therefor , if you are not sure that will going to sell close houndred of thousends of copys, is only waste money.
Will you spend $500.000 to have get $200.000?.

In that case, if I were to list one of these "original bootleg" cds for sale could I be fined or something?? If I were to post on here selling one of these would my post be removed?

"Spash" was released by Lee Holdridge as a promo. This case is not the same as that Alien "spanish edition" (which is a LIE) BOOTLEG floating around.

Yes, but a promo cannot be sold since its for promotional use only.Generally the same cd say this.But a bootleg is not allowed for sell neither.I think that if its a public domain work, you get the chance of record it yourself and present the works as yours, giving of course the credits to the original composer.Some scores have been re-recorded in a sort of this way, like Rota's Romeo & Juliette, released by Silva.
