A friend is selling his DVDs to a porn shop and since he had so many, he didn't keep the boxes. He got dvd boxes and even printed the covers from adult dvd empire with suprising results. Although the little dinky writing is not legable. There is on every cover, the disclaimer (I think thats what its called) with the claim of them being before a certain date or after. Each on is similar but still different. Question is, do those HAVE to be on there or could he put a sticker stating whatever it says, on a long thin sticker or something of that nature. Does it even HAVE TO BE displayed at all? This is really slowing him up on the completion of the sale of his DVDs, because the owner and him don't know if its a "bustable" thing. Thanks in advance.

I certainly can't speak to the legalise of all this, but if _I_ were the owner of that porn shop, my first concern would be whether or not those DVDs are legal copies, and I simply would not accept them without the original cover art. Trading of DVDs without cover art on this forum with people you've established trust with is one thing, but for a porn shop to buy them for resale is another.

If I were that guy, I wouldn't accept them--with or without legible disclaimer stickers. I'd want the original cover art and nothing less.

I realize this doesn't answer your question, though.

First, I don't believe this is a "bustable" problem. Certainly not a situation to enter quickly into. If the store owner is gonna buy these DVDs for resale than it would be best to have original, as in came with, artwork, and perhaps original boxes.


I like original, and I'm sure that this store owner also likes original, so your friend may have a hard time selling.

As long as they are the actual "factory produced" DVD and not a copy, no problem except that he will get less for them than if he had saved the box & cover art.
DVD's that have no cover are much harder to sell.

The labeling law applies to the producer of the porn (the company that made it)

Since pretty much every company puts the disclaimer on the actual playable DVD (usually on autostart function), it should be OK.

section 2257 of title 18 is the code that I was trying to think of. After that it usually states the name of the movie and address of where the records are showing the legit age of the actors/actress in the movies. I just wanna make sure my buddy doesn't get screwed. I can't see anything wrong with it not being displayed on the boxes. These are the original dvds.

Isn't the disclaimer on the box only there for the pictures used in the art work of the box cover, just like the disclaimer on the tape or DVD itself is there for the depictions found in the actual film? If this is the case, there is no problem: no art work, no pictures to "disclaim".

This is a good warning to people with lots of dvd's who start putting them in a binder - even if you throw away the bulky boxes, keep the cover papers intact. They won't take up much space, all stacked together, and if you decide to sell, they can be put on new boxes (with that disclosure).

I have seen people trying to sell used dvd's at very low prices, and still having trouble, because even though they have replacement boxes, the threw away the paper covers, or cut off the front part to put in the binders.

Yes, that's what I do, and I have like 10 folders full of cover art, in a box. Not because I want to sell 'em someday, but sometimes I need the artwork to refresh my memory of a title I think I may want to "watch."

I agree about keeping the cover art, it's inmportant to a lot of people myself included.

On this subject I should like to give mention to an occasional poster on these boards called Misfit. A month or so ago I bought a 2nd hand Buttman dvd via the trading forum, only to find the trader couldn't find the cover. The trader was great and threw in another dvd to the deal, but I still wanted a cover for the Buttman title. I contacted Misfit as he had bought the same dvd via the forum a week earlier.
I asked Misfit to send me a jpg scan but he went one better and, for nothing in return, had his friend from a local print shop copy the cover which he then posted to me. I just feel this is an apt opportunity to thank him publicly for his generosity of time and effort.
