A quick definition of bootleg recording:
A bootleg recording is a copy of a live or broadcast performance that is made without permission and sold or distributed illegally. It can be in a physical form or digital format that is shared online. It is also known as an underground recording, import recording, pirate recording, or counterfeit recording. It is against the law to make or distribute bootleg recordings without the permission of the copyright owner.
A more thorough explanation:
A bootleg recording is an unauthorized copy of a live or broadcast performance that is made available to the public without permission from the copyright owner. It can be in a tangible form, such as a CD or vinyl record, or in a digital format that is shared online.
Examples of bootleg recordings include:
- A fan recording a concert on their phone and sharing it online
- A radio broadcast of a live performance being recorded and distributed without permission
- A CD or vinyl record of a concert that was not officially released by the artist or their record label
These examples illustrate how bootleg recordings can be created and distributed without the consent of the copyright owner. This can result in lost revenue for the artist and their record label, as well as potential legal issues for those who create and distribute the bootleg recordings.
