probably, back in the day, not everyone could make such a copy of cd itself and cover art, so whoever had that possibilities could make few "bob" and get it into circulation somehow.
once a month me and friend of mine would make a way to closest city in Poland from our Slovak/Polish border to do a music shopping. Polish were really, really good in making hi quality bootlegs (copy-wise and artwork-wise) and they were cheap. I still have around 300 tapes ("originals") a home. Now we can debate about whole piracy issue, but that is not a topic. all i know, back in 90ties when cd was a new thing and absolutely not affordable for a teenager in post communist country, it was our only chance how to get to all sorts of music relatively cheap other than copying tapes. and thanks for that. by the way, some of the fakes were really, really good fakes in every aspect.
