not a legal version or something like that..

i wouldn't say illegal...more like a promo that may or may not get a release, i think

quote:

bootleg adj : distributed or sold illicitly; "the black economy pays no taxes [syn: black, black-market, contraband, smuggled] n 1: whiskey illegally distilled from a corn mash [syn: moonshine, corn liquor] 2: the part of a boot above the instep v 1: sell illicit products such as drugs or alcohol; "They were bootlegging whiskey" 2: produce or distribute illegally; "bootleg tapes of the diva's singing"

isn't it a remix done without artist permission?

A bootleg is getting a song, and combining some elements to another song.

For example getting the vocals of Armin Van Buuren - Yet Another Day and putting them in Dj Tiesto - Surburn Train. Sometimes bootlegs don't usually consist of vocals over another melody. It can be two melodies used in different areas of the song to have that feeling that there are 2 songs in 1.

I thought it was basically just an unauthorised remix like

BT - Force of Gravity (Ferry Corsten Bootleg)

and also stuff like Psygnosis mentioned ala Windsider - Hidden Flight

That's called a mashup. A bootleg is just something that's unauthorized.

true but seeing as nearly 100% of mashups are unauthorized then they are bootlegs too
