No, the term "bootleg" means it was made without permission. Because its very existence is illegal, it is also illegal to sell it. Under some laws, such as the criminal law of the USA, if you intentionally sell a copyright infringement, it is a federal crime and you could face 3, 5 or 10 years in prison, and possibly millions of dollars in fines, depending upon whether you also try to pass it off as being authentic. 18 USC § 2318-2320.
