41:30 Conclusion
I could be wrong, but I thought the modern use of the term was coined and mostly popularized by Brady Haran (of Numberphile) and other YouTube creators, primarily using it to describe news sites taking and re-uploading their content. Still not usually claiming ownership, though.
I think you’re right. I looked up the podcast, and it was coined by Brady Haran. I think I conflated conversations about the role of bootlegging compared to copyright infringement and the development of the term freebooting to mean re-hosting content. It sounds like referencing bootleg recording wasn’t part of the original intended nuance of the term.
I think you’re also correct that TomSka’s use of the term to include claiming ownership is still a semantic shift.
