Freebooting

For the episode, see H.I. No. 5: Freebooting.

Freebooting is the unauthorized rehosting of online media. The term, also a synonym of "piracy", was reappropriated by Brady in "H.I. #5: Freebooting" when he was trying to find a term more emotive than "copyright infringement" for the unauthorized rehosting of online media.
