Vladimir Bukovsky defined it as follows: "I myself create it, edit it, censor it, publish it, distribute it, and may get imprisoned for it."

Refers to the clandestine copying and distribution of government-suppressed literature or other media in Soviet-bloc countries. Copies were made a few at a time, and those who received a copy would be expected to make more copies. This was often done by handwriting or typing.
