As I said I got CHSIB and went to some shows, loved all that. Then I wanted more so I downloaded various live bootlegs, presumably as my friend had.
Now I do have to be honest and say that the recordings I downloaded also included all of the albums released up to that time, it was just part of the package I downloaded. But two things to say about that, one I was more interested in the live recordings, and two I made it my focus from that point to get my hands on every official release, despite having already downloaded it, because I wanted the physical CD's in my hands, nothing is better than that, having that CD in your hands, reading the booklet etc.
So although I did get the albums as part of the package I downloaded I didn't think it was right of me to have those, so I set out to get every official release properly. So now I have bought every official release both CD and DVD. I hope that clarifies some things.

So you discovered Meat through legally sold media, you downloaded the live bootlegs (which is, as i've said, a different subject IMHO) which came with the albums (not your choice) that you chose not to use, and instead you bought all the albums legit, so bootleged studio albums have had no effect one way or the other as to how you discovered Meat or how you listen to/own his music?
That's a lot different from targeting someone's entire past discography and taking it for free.
