Bootleg copies are for advertisement only, that's why the put the warning signs everywhere on it. So, technically copying bootlegs wouldn't be legal.

Copyright is not an universal law and each country has its own definition of it. There are many countries where hollywood productions (movies or series) are not released, nor marketed at all. If not marketed, the product is not bound by the local copyright law. In that case why would the people of those countries be obliged to follow another foreign country's (US) law? Technically, people in those countries are not entitled to enjoy the hollywood productions at all?
