I'm wondering if anyone else here who has a copy can tell if theirs has the same characteristics is the one I got: 1. The spindle where they print the title is very dark and hardly readable. It is a black circle around the hole in the center, but it does not extend past the clear plastic part like my other Anabolic titles. 2. Side two is not labeled at all. Normally it says "Side B" on my other Anabolic releases because they include trailers. The back of the disc - in the area outside plastic center says BR-1 stamped in the silver area. 3. The cover is quite fuzzy. I can hardly read some of the writing on the back. When compared to another recently Anabolic title - Up Your Ass #15 - it is obvious. Also the barcode is another place where it doesn't look that crisp. And right below the Barcode is thin red line. 4. No cover insert was included and I think Anabolic always does this. Does anyone else have a copy on hand they can compare? Thanks! Snowman [Link] |

The only time I'll buy off of Ebay and other sites like that is if I am looking for a cd or dvd that's out of print or no longer available, only then will I take a chance on used stuff. |

This is the first I have heard of it. Anyone else get ever get a pirate adult DVD that purports to be the real thing (in shrinkwrap with box cover art)? Snowman |

Unlike for making VCD's (which have limited quality or length), there is no relatively cheap DVD burning equipment out there that you can just insert into a computer bay. So people selling the stuff would have to make a significant equipment investment and probably need to do so in enough volume that they'd get noticed and rooted out. Concern about this is talked about in homebuilding computer forums and circles as being a main reason why affordable DVD burners have been so slow in coming. Of course Hollywood's other line of defense is macrovision copy protection. But geeks have devised ways around that, natch. |

| snowman872 RainCoatReviews.com 400 Posts 6/00 | I found more things wrong with the bogus Balls Deep DVD I got. There's no previews on Side B -- even though the box and main menu talk about them. The seller replied to my e-mail and said that his distributor did indeed slip him a few "quasi bootlegs." I'm not sure if this was discovered before or after he shipped it to me. So, I guess all of us better watch out and check our discs carefully. The appearance of this one wasn't as good as a regular Anabolic release, but it wasn't terrible. A casual buyer might never have realized it was bogus. Snowman |

In fact, I've purchased a few discs from him before and he handled a problem before without any problems. He says that he already contacted Anabolic and they were aware of the situation although I don't know if that is true or not. The seller didn't apologize, but he said he understood and agreed to take care of the problem. However, he said he was going out of town for a couple of weeks and will not be back until November 11th. Steph, you are correct that eBay does have a policy against pirated video, dvd, software etc. I'm taking a wait and see approach because I am not sure if the seller really knew it was a bootleg or not. I purchased another disc from him at the same time -- also an Anabolic title and it was legit -- although slightly scuffed up (despite the shrinkwrap). It is possible that he was duped by whoever he got these from. On the other hand, he may have known exactly what he was doing. I think I will contact Anabolic to see if they are aware of the situation. If the seller is telling the truth, then no harm done, they already know. If the seller is not telling the truth, then I will find out. Snowman |
