I remember when I was 9 years old and I played this SF2 bootleg on arcade. You know, the one with the Rainbow pattern logo?

A pirated copy of something.
Not always guaranteed to be reliable because, of course, it isn't the original.

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.

pirated material, usually media (DVDs, CDs, MP3s) and software of lower quality that the original. Bootleg (movie)DVDs and (music/software) CDs can be found by going onto a street corner of any major city and there you will find a guy selling them out of his trunk of just sitting on a street corner on top of a blanket selling. Pirated material can also be found on the Internet using such p2p applications such as limewire, emule, and bittorrent.
The term "bootleg" comes from back in the day when people used to wear boots that came up to your knees and they would steal whiskey by sticking it in there "boot-leg".
