Bootleg or non bootleg? - Blu-ray Forum

Blu-dock Saint · 09-06-2007, 02:16 AM

I recently recieved the departed from amazon used, the seller who sent it to me sent it in a Blu ray case but with a really crappy cover art that he printed off his computer by the looks of it.

I was wondering if blank blu ray's look the same as regular. The ink on the disc looks legit like it was done by the manufacturer, but was just checking because I'm not going to let this fly if its bootlegged.

Thanks for your time.

It should show up as a BD-R when you pop it in.

Thanks for clarifying, its an actual BD then, thank god. I can't stand having anything bootlegged, feels cheap...

Sounds like another person stealing discs.

No one has successfully bootlegged blu-ray yet, and doing so will be exceedingly difficult since they now have "fingerprints" of every pressing line.

I think that's what he meant.

By the way, all you have to do is look on Ebay, and you'll see tons of Blu-rays for sale with no case or artwork. I guess its becoming somewhat of an epidemic.

I meant if you check the ID when you play it, if it's a BD-R it should show up on the info tab.

I don't think you will see bootleg Blu-rays for a while assuming you could easily copy them, as the blanks are still quite expensive - so add the box etc and it would hardly be worth their time and effort. I hope that the price of blanks falls quickly though, piracy is not acceptable (except for the Disney sort).

like wicky said you have nothing to worry about successful bootleg of a bd haven't been done yet and its harder to pull off. i think the guy you bought the disc from ruined the cover and thought it would be nice to print one out for you.
