Back in 2009, Forever 21 started selling bootleg Minor Threat t-shirts, which was deemed by Dischord Records to be “absurd” and “unacceptable.” Now in 2013, Minor Threat t-shirts seem to be popping up again at another major retailer, Urban Outfitters, selling for a whopping $28.

Surprisingly, these shirts have been licensed by Dischord via Tsurt Clothing, a California-based company hired by Ian MacKaye to produce and oversee sales of the band’s official shirts. This is because, as MacKaye states, “Dischord doesn’t make t-shirts,” and because so many bootlegged Minor Threat shirts are constantly being made and sold, MacKaye hired Tsurt to oversee their official shirts and deal with bootleggers.

“It’s fucking absurd the amount of bootlegs are out there,” MacKaye says, and “my time is better spent doing other things.

“It’s not a political thing for me,” MacKaye continues in an interview with Washington City Paper. “I just don’t give a fuck about t-shirts” — however, he previously spent a lot of time chasing down bootleggers, finding that when confronted, “They get in your face… or they deny it. It’s a complete waste of time.”

Regarding Urban Outfitters carrying the shirts and the price tag it has affixed, MacKaye states, “Do I think it’s absurd? Yes, I certainly do. Motherfuckers pay $28; that’s what they wanna pay for their shirts.” He compares the pricey T-shirts to people happily blowing their money on expensive shoes: “I guess it makes their feet feel fuckin’ rich.”
