"bootleg" is the term generally used to describe unauthorized recordings; e.g., recordings of concerts not meant to be released (many such recordings have now made their way unto commercial lists--for example, dick's pick's). i'm aware of NO mfsl's that are true bootlegs. what you're apparently referring to are counterfeits, of which, as already noted, there are many. and remember some are so dumb, or perhaps so smart, to counterfeit $3 bills. -cfb
