clamp down.<<

I've never understood this line of thought.  What would Jimmy do exactly, send 
out some sort of 
psychic vampire to menace the hoarder?  I don't think there's a whole lot he 
could do to stop 
bootleggers.  Hell, Peter Grant couldn't "clamp down" on it when Zep was at the 
height of its 
power, so how could Jimmy now?  That's not to say I don't think there's a 
connection to all the 
recent boot releases and upcoming live project, as in why would anybody pay 
good money for a 
crap bootleg when they can pay a lot less money for a professional recording?  
A lot of hoarded 
boots are in danger of being made irrelevant depending on what Jimmy releases.  
Obviously Jimmy 
isn't going to release whole shows, but unless you're a completist there are 
many Zep fans who 
can live without yet another version of Moby Dick or a bad performance of The 
Ocean.  Must have 
the hoarders a little nervous, like maybe the golden goose is in danger of 
drying up, especially 
if Jimmy decides to put out a larger than expected DVD/live CD thingie.
