Bootlegging

=Bootleg=

Bootlegging is a term used for people who sit in theatres to film the movie with a camcorder illegally. These people post these files online and share with the online community via P2P sharing. Some people even make a profit out of this by burning the movie onto DVDs and sell them out for $5-7 each. Even though the quality of the movie is bad, surprisingly people would actually purchase these DVDs because they are cheap and the movies are not out yet and they rather pay less than a movie ticket to watch it.
