Recordings may be copied and traded between fans of an artist without profit. But some bootleggers have sold recordings for profit. They sometimes add professional-quality sound engineering and/or packaging to the raw material.
Bootlegs are usually made of either unreleased studio recordings, live performances or interviews with a level of quality that can't be predicted.
Bootlegging dates back to the 16th and 17th centuries, around the time of William Shakespeare.
In the early 20th century, movie soundtracks were often bootlegged. One example was a bootleg of Judy Garland. She performed "Annie Get Your Gun". That was before Betty Hutton replaced her early in production. It happened after a full soundtrack had been recorded.
Bootlegging increased between the 1960s and 2000s. One of the most praised bootlegs in the 1980s is Prince's studio album "The Black Album". In December 1987, Prince ordered the album taken down because of a few advance copies being used to make bootlegs.
The rise in popularity of the video sharing website YouTube caused it to be a major carrier of bootleg recordings. Its owner, Google, believes that under the "safe harbor" rule of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), it cannot be held responsible for content. That allows bootleg media to be hosted on it without any fear of a lawsuit. In 2010 Youtube removed a 15-minute limit on videos. That allowed entire concerts to be uploaded by fans and bootleggers.
