    I think you’re right. I looked up the podcast, and it was coined by Brady Haran. I think I conflated conversations about the role of bootlegging compared to copyright infringement and the development of the term freebooting to mean re-hosting content. It sounds like referencing bootleg recording wasn’t part of the original intended nuance of the term.

    I think you’re also correct that TomSka’s use of the term to include claiming ownership is still a semantic shift.
