Bootleg DVD's, Pirated DVD's, Copies etc...

When reporting an auction you could mention in the comments that there are others in the same category, perhaps they will then look into a few, and if one seller is responsible and suspended for illegal trading then all of their listings will be deleted.

Yep you are right I have reported a few already and ebid took down all of the person listing.

I similarly just had a run in with a bootlegger, and my actions have gotten their auctions taken down. The only problem I have left now is that my items have only just been shipped, so I've still got these items to come and my payment has already gone through.

I have to wonder what I'll do next. I've done the good thing in getting further bootlegging activity reduced from this character, but I am still a victim who was well and truly duped. For instance, what am I to do with the DVDs when they arrive from Malaysia (where they shouldn't have been coming from, it seems).

There are a few things to look out for that are a sure sign of bootleg DVD's.
Read the description from the seller very carefully if your not sure.

These are sure signs it a bootleg copy(almost always the seller will state in the description)
(1).It states its a DVDR, DVD-R DVD+R Disk.
(2).Its a digital tranfer from VHS or Laser Disk
(3).If its a movie thats still out at the Theatre
(4).This movie from taken from public domain and was researched and no-one owns the copyrights(Sorry but all movies that have been shown on TV or at the theatres at one time or the other are owned by some company no matter how old they are)
(5).If your not sure its been released to DVD yet check on Amazon(If its not listed on there yet then its not out)
(6).If they advertise it as a digital download and you have to DL it after you buy it.

The Main thing is if your not sure and it seems a bit iffy then don't buy it.

Check out what Region disk they are to. There's a lot of talk on here about Region 0 Disks being bootleg. A Large portion of them are, but(and I mean But) China and a few small countries around them are about the only places that make Region 0 Disks(Why, who knows, you would have to ask them)

off topic..

Was just wondering what cooling systems you are using on that rig.
With all that overclocking it must be hotter than a volcano inside, and how is it affecting the lifespan of the components ?
