The problem is that "infringing copyright" is such a mouthful. Bootlegging is a lot easier, and can easily be used as a synonym, since it doesn't have it's own legal meaning, unlike theft or piracy.

However, if we want to avoid other terms entirely, how about using the rhyming slang for infringing copyright that I suggested a while back.
