Sweet thanks, your probably right, infact i just did a search on bootlegs and found this

Its related to guns and roses, and its not even nz related. I think your right they are illegal but most artists/bands don't mind because it is free advertising for them.
That article is totally unrelated.
In the article they are using the term bootleg to refer to the illegal recording of a bands live show.
In dance music, and in the context being discuses in this thread, the term bootleg refers to the production of an unsolicited remix (ie not commissioned by the original artist).
