Re: [Videolib] shady website?

[Dennis Doros]

No problem at all Hugh!

This particular can of worms can be a really good discussion one day that
the internet and the digital age has changed the defining quality of books,
music and film. Where they used to live only as physical items that could
be held in your hands and where "ownership" and "theft" were concrete
descriptions, now they have become much more abstract.

Bob,

I have had my acceptance speech locked and loaded for thirty-one years
already, but the only Oscar in the house is my uncle who hasn't left since
Passover.

Re: [Videolib] shady website?

[Hugh Davis]

I agree about the legality, but I just wondered about the use of the word
scam. I didn't find anything on the site claiming they were doing it
legally, and I bet the site is one that either stays under the radar (since
it appears to only have a dozen or so titles) and withers from lack of
business or gets exposed and cracked down on (as ioffer had to). I would
just use the word scam for a site taking the money and running, but I get
your point.

Re: [Videolib] shady website?

[Dennis Doros]

scam
[skam] to cheat or defraud with a scam.


Yes, I think there is hair splitting here. My semantics - a scam is posing
as an honest business selling bootleg films illegally as "quality product"
to the public. If the seller was on the street corner selling fake Prada
bags for $200, I would think most people would call it a scam. It's just
this DVD website is the minor leagues of scam.

If he was advertising "Illegally duped copies of dubious quality from VHS
cassettes" for $1.99, then it's not a scam, he's just a bootlegger. :-)

Re: [Videolib] shady website?

[Hugh Davis]

Just from a semantic standpoint, I would say the site is shady (it is
selling DVDs of films which have not had commercial releases, at least not
beyond now out-of-print VHS) but not necessarily a scam. It reminds me of
some of the things you could once find on ioffer and ebay (both of which
have now cracked down) offering burned copies of films not otherwise
available. I would say a scam site cheats the buyer out of anything,
whereas this simply sells things that are not commercially-produced discs,
but perhaps I am splitting hairs this morning?

Re: [Videolib] shady website?

[Jessica Rosner]

Um yes. Two rules of thumb if a website/company you never heard of has
major films not available on sites like Amazon or Midwest Tape it is a scam
also a site where you don't see any box art ( though some scam sites have
scam ones) and almost every title is the same price is a scam. There must
be hundreds of these around. This one seems to specialize is wholesome made
for TV movies ( though it has others).

As an example THE STONE FOX listed there has never been legally released on
DVD
