This is a superb 2009 BBC radio documentary on music bootlegs. Apart from not distinguishing between tapers and bootleggers (there is a massive difference between the two), this covers the history of taping and bootlegging back to the early 1900s. Highly recommended listening.

For One Night Illegally - The History of the Bootleg
Broadcast April 20th 2009
BBC RADIO 4
Writer and broadcaster David Hepworth charts the story of secret recordings, artist out-takes and demo tapes that make up the world of bootleg recordings, from Bob Dylan's Great White Wonder in 1969 to the file sharing internet sites of the 21st century, via the Beatles, the Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Sex Pistols and Led Zeppelin.
David also talks to contemporary artists including Ryan Adams who have come to embrace the bootleggers, and hears from bootleggers of the 1960s and 70s who pitted their wits against security guards, the Feds and the record companies to get their unofficial releases out to the public.
A Bite Yer Legs production for BBC Radio 4.
