 Bootlegging - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During Prohibition of the 1920s in the United States, much of the bootleg whiskey in the U.S. was brought in from Canada and much of the bootleg rum was imported from Mexico or Cuba.
Today most bootleg alcohol in the U.S. is made domestically but sold "under the table" or "off the back of a truck" without the necessary permits and taxes.
Goods such as compact discs, DVDs and other Intellectual Property are considered to be "bootleg" if they are replicated without permission of the copyright holder.

The term is sometimes mistakenly used to refer to making untaxed alcoholic products, but, properly speaking, that is "moonshining", not bootlegging (although a bootlegger may be working with a moonshiner, selling or delivering the liquor for that manufacturer).
An unlicensed radio station operating such that a license is required is called a bootleg (or pirate) station.
There are also bootleg broadcast stations that operate for various reasons.

of illegal liquor was a case of the unspeakable in full pursuit of the undrinkable.
Farewell parties to legal liquor were held over the country and they were lugubrious affairs.
In the depths of dry Texas, conditions were so bad in towns such as Galveston, with its open houses of prostitution, gambling halls, and saloon, that a prominent law officer shrugged off the town as being outside the United States.

In the United States the liquor business was almost exclusively in the hands of Jews for 25 years prior to Prohibition; during the period, in fact, when the liquor trade was giving point and confirmation to the more extreme Prohibition arguments!
That is why they were able to secure exemption from the Prohibition Laws; their religious ceremonies require them to drink an amount which the law considered equal to 10 gallons a year.

While the rest of the state relies on bootleg liquor to quench its thirst, residents of this sleepy village on the periphery of Bardoli have kept the no-alcohol promise their forefathers made 30 years ago.

The issue was brought to the gram sabha’s notice and it was decided that no liquor dens will operate in the village.

 Cocktail: Prohibition
Although more than 300,000 lawbreakers were convicted under the Volstead Act, which enforced Prohibition at the federal level, Americans spent nearly US$40 billion on bootleg liquor, and the lineage of nearly all classic cocktails can be tracked to this time.
From 1920 to 1933, US federal law prohibited the manufacture, transportation, and sale of beverages containing more than 0.49 percent alcohol.
Bootlegging became big business, and legal enforcement and teetotalers were thwarted by

There was a widespread sense, understandable in the wake of years of bootleg liquor, that legal sales should be carefully regulated and narrowly marketed.
But in other states most stores weather the change.
Liberalizing the state’s laws governing wine sales is yet another area where New York can improve its competitive posture in attracting new business and visitors.

 Bootleggers, Rumrunners, and Moonshine - The Business of Prohibition
In 1920, Prohibition went into effect in the U.S. The 18th Amendment made the manufacture, importing, and sale of liquor illegal.
The Volstead Act put in place a police system for enforcing the ban.
Along the way, of course, officers of the law had to be evaded or bought off.

 02/10/00 TWN-Where It All Began:Stonewall
The cops - who said they were cracking down on bootleg liquor sales - had seized cases of booze from the bar, which did not have a liquor license.
But, the 200 customers ejected - most of whom were men gathered there because no gay bar in 1969 had been granted a liquor license - claimed they were being harassed just for being gay.
Early in the morning of that day, at a small New York City bar named the Stonewall Inn, a riot broke out near the end of a raid by plainclothes police officers.

 Prohibition, Herbert Hoover, Babbitt, the Man Nobody Knows
The concurrent-power provision allowed the states to abdicate their enforcement responsibility to the federal government, which could not fully curtail the illegal liquor trade.
The amendment banned the manufacture, sale, transportation, and importation of intoxicating liquors within the U.S. It granted Congress and the states "concurrent power" of enforcement.
The amendment lasted only 13 years before being repealed in 1933, the only time a constitutional amendment has ever been rescinded.

 moonshine: Definition and Much More From Answers.com
Selling it, or selling legally made alcohol in an illegal manner, is "bootlegging".
Ordinary white sugar is often the chief ingredient of moonshine mash, in which case the spirit distilled is technically a rum rather than a whiskey.
The literal meaning of moonshine is the light of the moon, but because the activity of distilling whiskey unlawfully was usually done at night with as little light as possible, the word became both a verb, meaning making the liquor, and a noun, meaning the liquor that was made.

 "Bootleggers in Jewell County" by Mike Jacobs
As Jewell Co. is in the northern tier of counties along the Nebraska state line, a regular duty was attempting to stem the flow of bootleg liquor from Nebraska down KS-14 toward Beloit and points south.
This was somewhat of a trial to Grandfather, since he enjoyed an occasional drink and didn't think much of the Kansas blue laws then in force.
When the bootlegger made his appearance, Mother and Grandfather started their pursuit, Mother driving and Grandfather firing a few shots (in the air, of course, since he didn't want to really harm anyone over bootleg whiskey).

 yaledailynews.com - Time sees changes in alcohol rule
High prices for bootleg liquor during Prohibition precluded many students from drinking at flagrant levels, as they did before Prohibition, Yale historian Gaddis Smith '54 said.
Yale's alcohol policy was at its most draconian from 1919 to 1933, when nationwide Prohibition laws forbade the transportation and purchase of liquor.
But except when alcohol was banned outright during Prohibition, administrators consistently have turned a blind eye to student drinking, regardless of Connecticut law and University policy.

 The Mavens' Word of the Day
I've heard of bootleg gin, bootleg records, and the play a quarterback runs in the NFL called a bootleg.
In early use, around 1890, this was usually referring to liquor, with "bootleg" as a noun being more-or-less equivalent to moonshine, and as a verb meaning 'to smuggle liquor'.
The broader application to anything smuggled or made illicitly, such as bootleg cigarettes or a bootleg recording, arose by the 1920s.

These distributors "often distribute liquor alongside the formal distributor, often sourcing their liquor in countries where taxes are reduced," Watson stated.
However, it found that the country's high import costs could be the factor encouraging the corruption in the importation and distribution system.
A recent study by the auditing firm KPMG Peat Marwick was not able to quantify the extent of the revenue loss to the Government on account of the illegal importation of liquor.

After the Volstead Act of 1919 made the enforcement of prohibition mandatory, Americans began to drink in protest against the invasion of their rights.
"Bootleg" liquor was available either from illicit local stills or from abroad.
The National Temperance Society and Publishing House was organized in 1865 by James Black of Lancaster, Pa. His abhorrence of liquor developed when, as a muleskinner at the age of 16 on the Pennsylvania and Union Canal, he joined some older workers in a carousal.
