that these counterfieters have

My ILs are very moral. They actually bought some in a car boot sale and did NOT realise they were counterfeit. They just thought they were getting a bargain.

They phoned DH and said, 'There's something wrong w/these DVDs, they're grainy and you can't hear well.'

Um, yes, b/c they're counterfeit!

They were shocked.

there is a copy of world trade centre here..it belongs to dd boyfriend parents..she asked if i wanted to see it and i said oh you mean the 193 one and she said no the world trade centre

I don't really buy the "pirate DVDs help fund drug dealers" thing. I mean, surely drug dealing is profitable enough to fund itself?

I can buy the terrorist thing, I guess, but don't actually believe it.

No, I don't buy pirate DVDs, because I don't like fake things, generally. Sometimes DH gets loaned some, but they're nearly always shakycam, so I can't be bothered.

Anyway, who would pay money for pirate DVDs when you can download decent versions using torrent software, for free!

It is definitely linked to organised crime.Please don't buy them

Sigh.. you can take the girl out of the court room, name her after a fish, and chuck her into Mumsnet.. but you just can't take the court room out of the girl...

'I can buy the terrorist thing, I guess, but don't actually believe it.'

Ever been to Turkey? Believe me, it does go to fund terrorist activities.

But if you make your own pirate dvds then you won't be funding serious crime, and it's not crap quality...

Parents BUY them, not counterfeit them themselves (but they're still being naughty)

here is something to read piracy is a crime

I live in a heavily Turkish area. Hmmm, are you talking about activities against the Turkish gov't? Or against us?

Oh, and don't get me started on "organised" crime. By definition pirate DVDs are part of organised crime, as selling them is criminal.

No, I'm talking about how you go to Turkey and you can buy loads and loads of counterfeit goods and then when you try to get them back into the EU they're always trying to ferret out counterfeit stuff.

It's b/c it's used to fund terrorist activities.

Not so much DVDs, but clothes and handbacks.

I really offended someone on here a while ago by suggesting that selling counterfeit dvds was immoral and illegal. It could get mumsnet into trouble too and MN towers removed the post.

Not all of them are connected to crime.

My brother gets all the kids films for them, he downloads them him self and they are brilliant quality.

I really really don't care and tbh i don't think many people do. When ever it is mentioned in the playground at school there are always loads of people who go "oh yeah we've had that for ages too"

i think tis the cricels you moev in nutty
it woudl nto be approved of here deffo

no, this would not be something seen as good amongst anyone i know.

Actually the people I were thinking of Cod are normal people, what sort of circles is it you think I move in ??

i have no ide
ones where theft iss seen as ok?
tis hteft
if omone stole your bank card woudl you be so accepting?
if someone k nicekd comehting out of your garden ditto?

I have a very nice friend who thinks it's acceptable to download films and tv programmes like Lost.
I think it's wrong.
I also wouldn't download music without paying for it.

If you don't pay the money to support the films and music you want to enjoy then eventually everything will end up as rubbish commercial girl bands/X Factor stuff.

And it's illegal.

'I really really don't care and tbh i don't think many people do. '

That's sad, b/c the sale of these things really does go hand and hand w/organised crime. The people who sell drugs on estates and help fuel the crime and anti-social behaviour in some of these areas, for example.

by definition as nqc said and cod indeed counterfeit dvds or copies downloaded are always associated with crime

God some of you are so stuck up your own arses it's untrue.

So non of you have ever watched a copy of any film ???? Ever ??

My brother has nowt to do with drugs. So cos you download films your a druggy or involved in other criminal activity ??

No, I never have.

Someone brought one over whilst I was out, and DH and he started to watch it, and it was so crap in quality they turned it off.

No. Someone gave dh a copy of Spiderman 2 and I made him get rid of it.

No need to say I am up own arse.
