I think I found another bootleg brand not mentioned, it's SM Records. I have some Virtua Fighter cd's from them, but there is no sign of copyright and the cd's we're released by an other company in Japan.

just checked all the ones i am suspicious of. A little research and it appears I struck out 6/6.
Miya Records x4
SM Records x1
K-O Records x1
it's thinking
MUUUUU. T.T
I just got my kof 2000 soundtrack today. Went to check the 100$ OST that another seller had put on buy it now and they were quite different. Then I searched Ever Anime. And my poor cd is a bootleg. *cries* I still paid 30$ for a bootleg! Now I will watch what I buy way more >_<
Thanks for all that precious info!
Weird thing is every single EverAnime cd I've gotten has had different artwork from the official release (and of course they put their logo/name on it too). Why is that, tho? Wouldn't they be trying to pass it off as legit?
And dammit I just bought an Evangelion OST made by SonMay, and an FF OST by Miya (another bootleg company). XD

if you can get the catalogue number of the CD (as it is normally on the spine or at the back) then visiting http://vgmdb.net/db/main.php and typing the catalogue number in will generally tell you if the CD is bootleg or not, if it doesn't then type as much of the title information in and see what comes up. If you are not sure then walk away.
I have about 150 game music CDs and all are original as I bought them in Japan, I do have a few CD-Rs but these came directly from the artists or companies so they are legit.
