Re: [Videolib] shady website?
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?
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.
