Why do normalfags always confuse the words bootleg and knockoff and use them interchangeably despite them having very different legal definitions.
The differences
Bootleg Something that is illegally copied distributed or sold without permission from the copyright or trademark owner.
A counterfeit of an official product or a fake product that doesn't exist
Knockoff A product that is a imitation of a popular brand and sold for a cheaper price
Bootlegs are illegal Knockoffs are not illegal they are more of a legal grey area but they can still get away with it
when most normies use the term Knockoff they actually mean Bootleg/Counterfeit/Fake because they are referring to illegal products not off brand stuff you can find at your local store.
