I've used them once before (many years ago) but not for bootlegs though. I just tried them out on a few data cd's that I had photos/documents saved onto.

They're good for what they are but if it's to label bootlegs then I could see it getting expensive needing lots of labels/ink for every disc.

Be aware that you can get errors when copying a disc with a label on it.

I have made bad experiences with those DVD/CD labels. I once labeled my DVDs with this stuff, round 200 pieces. Was OK for a year or so and then the labels started to loosen from the discs. When I removed some of the labels the surface of the dvd was just blank. I think the glue of them destroyed the DVD surface... I wasted a lot of money with this.

Could be an issue of the labels I used but I will never ever glue anything on a disc surface.... I now simply use a pen and thats it.

I would not advice it.

In the beginning i have used those labels too on Metallica dvd's bootlegs.
But since it does cost a lot of inc, and to do that with hunderds of dvd's,
it's a waste of the money imo. I can use the money better :lol: .

And it does give almost each time read errors, when you want to copy
the files too the hdd, because of the smooth top from the printed labels.

I had to thrown in the beginning a lot away, due to *can't read the files due
too the smooth top*.

I use only on a the papersleeve a printerlabel with the date, venue, gen, author etc.
And the dvd is clean

I would not recommend them. I have used them in the past, plus todays discs have a smoother surface that the labels dont stick to very well. I you really want to print labels I suggest a printer that can print directly on the disc. I got a nice HP Photosmart D5460 a few years ago for $50 and it works great.

Wise choice!
If you are really interested in creating dvds with good looking labels you should maybe think about a printer that can print dvds. Then you only need printable dvds and there you go. You just need to know if its worth it in your eyes to have a pic on your dvds....
