bootleg recording
A bootleg recording is an audio or video recording of a performance not officially released by the artist or under other legal authority. Making and distributing such recordings is known as ''bootlegging''. Recordings may be copied and traded ...
s that have subsequently seen a commercial release. Because bootlegs are issued without the consent of an artist's record label, that artist may not receive any royalties from its release, and there is no guarantee of the sound quality and authenticity of the bootleg. To counteract this, while still meeting demand for the recordings, some artists have given bootleg recordings an official release.
