refarding the Watchman's interesting posting. I said that I intended using the definitions and details posted by Al and I like to give credit where credit is due when quoting so I asked Mr Google what is a bootleg? and found Al's source at:-

'Bootleg' is a term that is brandished about freely by a multitude of people to refer to a wide array of things. Within the music industry, everything from the traditional bootleg, to pirates, to copies, to counterfeits have at one time or another been called a bootleg. Most of the lay population (and some less informed persons within the industry) use some or all of the terms above interchangeably. In this article we will define all of the above terms as they are used by the industry insiders, and will explore exactly what a bootleg is ... and what it is not."
