    In [EDM], and possibly other music genres as well, bootleg is a term used for a [remix] of a song in which the producer made the remix using only the original song in its finished condition. This differs from a traditional remix in that in a remix (not a bootleg), the producer has access to the individual [tracks] (vocal, bass, melody, etc.) that make up the original song and uses them to create the remix.

        A pirated copy of something.

        Not always guaranteed to be reliable because, of course, it isnt the original.

          Bootleg recording
          A bootleg recording is a audio or video recording of a performance that was not officially released by the artist or under other legal authority. A great many such recordings are simply copied and traded among fans of the artist without financial exchange, but some bootleggers are able to sell these rarities for profit, sometimes by adding professional-quality sound engineering and packaging to the raw material.

            n. an unofficial recording of a concert
            This term originated with smugglers and thieves who would hide things in the leg of their boots. It evolved to mean a pirated version of something. Some liberal bands such as the Grateful Dead, and more recently Phish and Pearl Jam allow fans to record their concerts, and distibute these recordings freely as long as they are not sold. Fans refer to such recordings as bootlegs, even though they are legal.

              Beyond audio Piracy, anything that is bootleg is fake, unfashionable, or lacking in any way.
