A friend sent me this pic with caption: “this is in India, where you call for tech support on your computer.” Yes, I know many of those wires are telephone not power. Do you suppose any of those connections might be bootlegged? 🙂

My boss has that one tacked up on the bulletin board in his office. There are a bunch of pictures like that, they get sent around in emails from one electrical engineer to another. I've seen similar ones from China and various other places in the far east.
I worked a summer during college at a large IBM plant. Above the main hallways throughout the building there were huge trays carrying all the computer and telephone cables; those trays were filled solid several feet deep, and probably half the cables were old ones that had gone bad or that had been abandoned. They would have had to shut the whole place down to clean it up, so they just kept adding more and more cables to the top of the heap.
I saw one like that from Haiti. Definitely bootlegged power

Looks like the cables I have to tie my two Lab mix dogs out with after they've been playing for an hour or so.
