If bootleg remixs are not released because they havent gotten permission, therefore are bootleg remixes legal to download?

Sure, so long as you delete them before the RIAA police come after you!

Well, I'm not a legal expert. However, with that disclaimer out of the way, I have a feeling that it would be just as illegal.
Artist A makes a track. Artist B remixes it without permission. Artist A doesn't like the remix. If Artist A still has rights over the track in question, despite the fact that it's a remix, why would it be any different when it comes to filesharing? Artist A still has rights over it.

So then is it illegal for djs to play out bootlegs or remixes that werent approved? like Evanescne - Hello (G&D remix)?
If they can play bootlegs without consequences, then we should be able to just download it.

If producing the track is illegal, then surely sharing an illegal track would also be illegal as well. Think of it as handling stolen goods or something like that.
However, in most cases, i doubt that they really care. That's why DJs don't get pursued and busted for playing bootlegs.

I have no idea, as I'm not a legal expert.
Your thinking isn't very logical though. You're basing it on a call to authority, which is a logical fallacy.

its not illegal to MAKE a bootleg. it would be illegal to officially distribute it for a profit. i don't see any problem with artists making bootlegs.

That's right. I can never remember the right names, but I remember their functions. Which is all that really matters.

yes i'm fairly sure thats the correct answer. As long as no one is profiting from it, it is not illegal.
