Some bands, particularly when starting out, have encouraged bootlegging of gigs in order to increase exposure
Some bands even put out free downloads to achieve the same ends
Some bands also sell mllions of albums despite bootlegging and piracy as you state, but are they the exception or the rule?
It doesnt alter the fact that bootlegging is theft and illegal
