Who is killing South Africa's video stores?

If you want to watch Hulu or Netflix here without a slow VPN, I saw an old thread here that suggested changing your DNS servers to

So far it works great, no problems and no speed issues and its free!

Yes if you buy them off the street, that money usually helps fund local crime syndicates but not downloading from free sources, even advertising revenues from such websites can't contribute to much IMO.

No not really the guy that I know who sells here on the corner is battling and uses the money to support his family,very very far of from the rubbish mafia style picture that scott is trying to paint,yes maybe in one or two case its happening but for the most part the guys selling pirate movies are just making a couple bucks for bread and milk.

Then theres a white guy who lives alone and sells this stuff at the flee market spends his cash and extra time building up kit cars and selling them,is he now also involved in mafia style activities?Absolute BS coming out of scotts mouth.

QUALITY QUALITY QUALITY....that is what it will take to save the video stores.

So why hasn't Musica gone belly up?
If anything music disks go through more wear and tear than DVD's?

They have an online distribution platform as well, and they don't just sell CDs.

Curious question in regard with mr video, numetro and renting. Do they still send out discs as they are (originals) or do they nowadays make copies and write names on it ?

Last time I checked they were originals but that was some time ago. As far as I know they will get into serious poo if they make 'copies'.

This thread after reading every comment wants to make me do something for all of us but i have no funds to startup.

Can using one of those startup money groups help here if we put our minds together (i by no means a genius) but am willing to help where i can.

Whose with me on this, need legal on this aswell to see how we can get around our distros restricting content .

I do get my 10-20 blurays a month downloaded but whose to say i won't opt for a easier solution that i can pay for and support .

Can we start a group on mybb and discuss away please.

What about dealers who clearly have 'not for rental' copies on their shelves? Seems some distributors turn a blind eye.
