Well there are sites (or one I know anyway) that puts sessions up but there 
is a
greater level of risk than with progs since some of the sessions belong to
record companies or the artist themselves rather than the BBC.
While that is true of the stuff in the progs too that is less focused and
harder to find and of less interest to someone using a search engine using 
a specific
artist name to find copyright violations

The bootleggers exist because there seem to be a lot of people without
the basic common sense to put Peel in a search engine and ask in the 
relevant group
Most people who ask do get helped but usually offlist (or so rumour has it)
