Hi, all ! I'm sorry, but I got a bit lost and dizzy reading all of this so, apologies, I did not and have a few questions.

What does it mean to download a bootleg? How does one do that ? I don't have all the bells and whistles hooked to my computer to do anything like copying movies or music or whatever.

Where is "bootleg" located ? On YouTube ? How does it get there ?

When I think "illegal bootleg", my mind goes to someone who has gone to a theater or concert and recorded the material and put it onto cds/ dvds and sold them for profit.

Is it a bad thing if I record something and listen to it for my pleasure alone and never tell a soul about it ? Am I committing a crime ?

In past, I have used a tape recorder to record music from the tv and radio. Is that a bad thing ? What about recording LPs onto tapes for my own pleasure and convenience ? What about if I've done that and given it to someone else ? Given, not sold, making no profit ?

I appreciate aid helping me to understand the above.

Thanks !
