Why don't you just download it?

I downloaded it from isohunt.com once

EDIT: I just checked isohunt and it's currently available in the torrent:

Velvet underground - Discografia

which is every album - when you load the torrent into utorrent you can choose which files you want (as opposed to downloading every single file contained in the torrent). So, if all you want is 'Squeeze', just deselect everything but 'Squeeze'

It's not stealing in the case of 'Squeze' because it's out-of-print and was NEVER released on CD.

Any CD copies of 'Squeeze' you'll come across were done by amateurs - transfered onto Cd from vinyl.

What's with your attitude!? You're wrong, by the way. A bootleg is unreleased material (concerrt footage/studio takes). This is just an out-of-print album.

The classification of black market music usually goes something like this:

bootleg: material never officially available anywhere
pirate: material officially available (usually very rare or out of print)
counterfiet: material officially available and packaged identically to the original release, trying to pass itself off as the real thing.

Really? I though "pirate" and "counterfeit" were pretty much interchangeable. I doubt "pirate" really refers to stuff that's usually very rare or out-of-print because A) How much of that stuff is around and how many people seek it out? B) "Piracy" is a very common term for other than what you're describing.
