Yeah strictly speaking that is correct terminology Michael.
Goes without saying that a release done without the permission of the
artist is morally wrong whatever you call it, but I'll say it anyway! :)

technically
Bootlegs are recordings of unreleased recordings (live shows, stuff off
radio, unplanned songs, etc.)
Pirated recordings are unofficial copies of real releases or planned
recordings that are yet unreleased. A pirated recording doesn't have to
try and mimic an official release
Counterfeits are pirated recordings that do mimic official releases
so this note in discogs:
-
In 2006 a bootleg (counterfeit) of this album was re-issued in a
gatefold cover with the first disc in yellow vinyl and the second disc
in blue vinyl. There is also an edition of the re-release with the first
disc in blue and the second in red vinyl.
-
is inaccurate - it is a pirated counterfeit
not a bootleg
