How to identify a pirated DVD

[isie]

Without reading the article, I would venture a guess : "By the Nigerian selling it at a robot ?"

That's Racists!
Its the Zimbabweans or Malawians at robots as well

I live a disk free life. Not a single movie, game, software or album on disk.

That's what I'm striving towards as well.The less waste the better.

You know what surprises me some people will spend thousands on Full HD tv's with full Theater quality surround sound, then pop in a crap quality CAM Rip of a movie and somehow still rave at how the quality of their set up :wtf:

Nobody with half a braincell uses cam rips, and especially don't use DVD's.

DVD's? Who still uses DVD's?

It's going the way of the VHS cassette.

How to identify a pirated DVD

Counterfeit movie and TV series DVDs remains a big problem in South Africa – here is how to spot a fake.

Or instead of doing ALL of that, just flip the disc over and see if it's Silver or Blue

Blue/Gold (whatever) - Fake

Silver - Original

Why don't they just print it properly! Personally; I'm amazed people are willing to pay to watch a movie in such low res.

Well, they will print them properly now, after this handy pirate's guide to making original-looking DVDs

As noted there are still some music concerts that are DVD only. Also AFAIK there is not a "well" known online place that sells music concerts available for download/streaming.

EDIT: except if you wait for someone to rip it and upload it to youtube.

Not true. There are plenty of fake pressed discs. Probably more than the the dyed discs.

Very simple...the price.

With vinyl making a comeback I suggest an article highlighting how to spot a fake vinyl recording..

If it goes Arrrrrrrrrrrr when you insert it.

I find checking the guy who is selling them helps too. If he has a pegleg, a parrot on his shoulder and only accepts doubloons as payment, he may be selling pirated merchandise...

The "article" presented here is a paid-for piece, from the following likely sources.

* FPB
* SAFACT
* MultiChoice

All of the above, in some percentage, feeling the blow to their obscene profits, now that South Africa has alternative means of getting television programs and movies via streaming.

Many users of content do not bother themselves with discs, the preferred format is the H.264 encoded file, and for the majority, the answer is Netflix and/or Hulu

You joke, that's actually half true.

Those ****ty pirated discs wreak havoc to DVD drives and are often much noisier trying to read them.

I know. That joke was a double sided joke.

Used to buy games at Boksburg Trader's Square. Almost had to wear earplugs when installing them.
