I apologize that is true however it is pretty easy to tel they are legit. Those titles are in fact available directly from the studio and in most cases from standard legit venders. WB says they are moving towards pressed DVDs but we shall see. The company in question though is a bootlegger.

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.
