Copyright infringement is the unauthorized use of copyrighted material in
a manner that violates one of the copyright owner's exclusive rights, such as the
right to reproduce or perform the copyrighted work, or to make derivative works
that build upon it. There are many different ways copyright owners may find their
copyright has been infringed. For example, in the film and music industry, infringing
activities include the following:

Where recordings are made of live performances without the performers consent;
Bootleg recordings are musical recordings that have not been officially released
by the artist or their associated management or production companies. They may consist
of demos, out takes or other studio material, or of illicit recordings of live performances.
Music enthusiasts may use the term "bootleg" to differentiate these otherwise unavailable
recordings from "pirated" copies of commercially released material, but these recordings
are still protected by copyright despite their lack of formal release, and their
distribution is still against the law. The slang term bootleg (derived from the
use of the shank of a boot for the purposes of smuggling) is often used to describe
illicitly copied material.

The illegal copying of music products that have been released without permission
from the copyright owner. Common ways this is done are by copying music onto or
from a cassette, CD, a hard drive or the Internet. Pirate products are not necessarily
packaged in the same way as the original, as opposed to counterfeit products (see
below);

Involves duplication of both the music product and of its packaging. For
this reason unwitting buyers are less able to recognise counterfeit copies than
is the case with some pirate copies.

Is theft of another person's writings or ideas. Generally, it occurs when
someone steals expressions from another author's composition and makes them appear
to be his own work. Plagiarism is not a legal term; however, it is often used in
lawsuits. Courts recognize acts of plagiarism as violations of copyright law, specifically
as the theft of another creator's intellectual property. Because copyright law allows
a variety of creative works to be registered as the property of their owners, lawsuits
alleging plagiarism can be based on the appropriation of any form of writing, music,
and visual images

Virtually everyone dealing with music piracy knows that it is illegal, but
why it is illegal is not so well understood. The answer lies primarily in the way
that copyright laws apply to music. To ensure there are proper incentives for companies
to continue investing in the creation, production, promotion and marketing of sound
recordings, international treaties and national laws grant producers of sound recordings
various rights in those recordings.
These rights include the exclusive right to commercially copy the recordings
and to distribute/import/export those copies. Depending on the country you live
in, these rights may be called copyrights, or 'related' or 'neighbouring' rights.
These are separate to any rights that may subsist in the music or the lyrics that
are being recorded.
It is these rights that enable law enforcement bodies to take criminal action
against those who copy and distribute music without the permission of the record
companies that invested in producing it. They also allow record producers to take
civil actions to recover compensation for damages suffered as a result of music
piracy. While there are often other laws or regulations that are broken by music
pirates (eg. tax laws, trademark laws), the rights of music producers under copyright
or related/neighbouring rights laws are the fundamental basis for the illegality
of music piracy.
