While it is almost an oxymoron for Asian films, this is bootlegger/ pirate distributor not a legit importer or dealer. Ignoring for a moment that the site freely offers titles that have many films that have legal US rights holders including Kino, Sony, Miramax etc., companies that offer a variety of standard feature films which they theoretically are retailing (as in not the owner) in multiple formats especially region free are not selling legal copies authorized by rights holders. However many of these titles do not have a legit US distributor and the import market is so convoluted that in most cases they are from bootleggers and pirates. I would make sure not to buy any title from this site that has or had US rights holders and a few clicks of the mouse can usually confirm that, beyond that you just have to go with your gut but just understand nothing they sell would be considered a legal copy.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
