A bootlegger is a person who illegally uploads the album for free via file-sharing sites or torrents (in ye olden days, it referred to someone who copied and sold the actual physical records). And while the usage wouldn’t be exactly correct, he’s probably referring to the people who download it as well.

The term bootlegging itself stems from bootleg liquor that is produced illicitly and may be sold under a well known brand name to increase sales.
