lol, check out this auction: I sell bootleg!
Can't believe there's actually one user bidded on it, maybe he didn't read the description carefully? I think he should visit this forum to learn more about Ai...
Look at the title of the auction. Black Hands 680 Yen? What the hell is that? And notice shipping cost is 5.85 US dollar, that bidder is really losing his money now! |

| What's a bootleg? Is it something downloaded, burnt, and seemed like it's the real copy? |

Actually, in chinese kugoge wagyu will read as "black fur and cow", look carefully it's mao (ge - fur), not shou (te - hand).

Bootleg refers to CD or DVD that is not officially released by the original company, i.e. pirated and self made. Most of them comes with bonus materials compare to the official release, but there's many of them that look exactly the same as original but only with a made/produced by (insert random name) company which is not avex. |

There's no reason to waste your money on a bootleg. Why buy such a CD when you can easily burn a "best of" CD yourself using cd burner? The worst thing when you buy a bootleg is the fact that the money you spent will not go towards the people who really deserve it, i.e. the record company and Ai herself, but some evil pirated cd seller who profits off other people's intellectual property. 
Of course, the best way out is to buy her albums and singles instead of getting everything off the web (possibly from this forum  ) and not buying any of the real releases. |

Not really. First, bull/cow is "gyuu" (or "ushi", but not "ge"), and looks a lot more like "go" (noon). "Te" (hand) has three horizontal strokes, and looks much closer to "mou" (hair).
(There's some weird encoding problem with my browser that messes up any Japanese text I submit by web forms, so I made an image instead.) |

| The one bidder is probably a friend of the seller. That's done on ebay all the time, a seller has a friend put in a bid to make it look appealing or to raise the price. But yeah, bootlegs are pretty bad. I accidently bought some once, but I didn't know any better at the time. Now I know not to go to ebay for Jpop stuff. |
