Curiousity is not pathetic or necessarily a sign of incompetence. It is completely natural to feel curious about the make up of something new (especially the composition of a bootleg HD title). That is how people acquire and/or enhance their experience/knowledgebase. Seeing bootleg items is very common in a lot of places overseas. I think your statement was harsh. Curiousity pulled you into this particular thread when you read the title. I think you should at least ask for clarification before attacking someone in that manner.

I just think we should try not to treat each other like that...especially in this case.

It was a report about pirated movies. There is tons of that sort of posts, articles and even news reports on TV. Do they all glamorize piracy?

I will tell you, HE SAID HE WANTED TO TAKE A PICTURE!!!!. LAST TIME I CHECKED THAT IS PIRACY. HE IS DEFINITELY GLAMORIZING!!

Gee. So if someone from AVS asks me, "Do you have any proof that HD-DVDs are being copied?...

then I should respond with,

"Well, I didn't take a picture of it because I didn't want to glamorize the situation."

I don't understand why people are acting like it is not common knowledge that there is a such thing as bootleggers. It would be very hard to make bootleggers any more known or popular than they already are. I'm trying to find the logic in the whole glamorizing argument in this case.

[Greenmatiz2]

By the style of writing, it may be the same poster.

I'm going to assume that you are in the military, Army, Air Force or Navy, in that order. Your English writing skills are pretty good to be a local national especially on this blu-ray forum. Yes, I will report this because of people like you that make companies wary about releasing those much wanted movies.

I see that you have replied to other post on this thread so please, reply to this.

What the heck. He was just reporting what he saw. He didn't buy anything. I'm also stationed here in Yongsan, Korea and pirated movies are everywhere here. I can't believe that they allow them to continue to sell on the streets. There is a guy that sits right outside one of the gates on post and sell bootlegs. I see soldiers and koreans buying from him all the time. Not even the local police make him leave. Its a shame. Korea has turned into the bootleg capital of the world..... You name it and they will bootleg it..

YOUR ANSWER DOESN'T, PROVE A THING. READ YOUR COMMENT AND TELL ME IF IT MAKES ANY SENSE....... BUDDY NO OFFENSE, AND WITH ALL RESPECT BUT YOU ARE STILL PROVING THAT YOU HAVE NO PROOF THAT
"well, I didn't take a picture of it because I didn't want to glamorise the situation." THINK ABOUT IT. I AM THE MANUFACTURER YOU ARE TELLING ME THERE IS NO PROOF THAT HD CAN BE COPIED THEN WHY SHOULD I STOP MANUFACTURING HD WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE PROOF?. ON TOP OF IT I AM THE CONSUMER, HOW IS THAT GOING TO AFFECT MY DECISION TO PURCHASE HD OR BD?

You must be a HD DVD-fanboy (or employee), who is really worried that this information comes to light.
Because attacking the OP doesn't make sense.

Please go away.

Some people don't even understand sarcasm whe it is announced as such Thanks for the infos. This is a message board for people with the same interest to exchange information and news. You did just that.

as a matter of fact I am not. one thing in life that i learned that is to be optimistic. anything is possible. I own both 360 and PS3, one game which is madden 07 on 360 and 4 games (resistance, ultimate alliance, spiderman3 and madden o7 on ps3). on top of that, no HD add on for 360 and 19 movies that are BD. I also work for National Amsuement corp. which is owned by viacom, and is a parent company for PARAMOUNT which is a supporter for both BD, and HD.

You still haven't answered my question buddy. all i am trying figure out why should I keep investing in BD?

I can't beleive your attacking matiz like this, all matiz did was report to you whats happening with the HD-DVD key fiasco, that they're getting bootlegs in korea.

Matiz isn't buying any of that illegal dodgy crap, i personally prefer the quality of originals over pirates any day, we all know they mainly have cut down versions anyhow and don't get the best quality.

I prefer to pay for a genuine version as i'm paying for a proper quality disc with artwork and proper printed cases, not ones done in someones laser burning drive and printer.

As for being anti-piracy to the bone, read the post you moron, matiz isn't glamorizing, just making the point that they've become available and interested in how they're fitting the stuff on. Matiz isn't exactly buying them and obviously has appreciation for genuine movies.

I think you should maybe report the piracy going on to the right authority though matiz, maybe that will shut up mr anti-piracy to the bone.

For your knowledge i have always been a true fan to sony. I own 4, 50 inches LCD 1080p screens which is by sony, a sony dvd dream home theatre system. a sony bluray system, and on top of it sony playstation, 2 and 3. I have always thought that sony products are more dependable, and more creative. I am just optimistic that HD will win the format. I hope it doesn't, and i hope that universal goes exclusively Blu. All my concern is as long as this format war is going which continues to go since april of last year. obviously, it is still going because of the numbers for both formats. both, are still going back and forth on who is better and who is not. I just don't want to waste money and time on a format that will end up losing.

Shadowblz, this may sound stupid, but the one thing I truly love about Blu-ray discs are the scratch-resistance.

That is one of the main reasons why I back BR. Really, all of the other details are 2nd (other than studio support, for now).

I like my things to be strong and last a long time.

I can take a picture of Chinatown here. In the picture, it mayl include pirated DVDs/VCDs, watches, t-shirts and handbags. The fruits are fresh however, and not cloned.

So if I post such a picture, how would I be glamorizing the pirated products?
