hold it.
are you sure it's a bootleg? (I don't know what you mean re: the cover) but weren't a lot of the Mats/PP's purple backed? it could be just what they make them now.

A specific batch of PP was dvd-r (purple back) at one time and are legit. However, I understand Tracy's team switched manufacturers shortly after receiving complaints re: dvd-r production vs. pressed dvd. I know that a lot of these ended up being sold on Exercisetv.tv

This is tough, because there is legit DVD-R workouts that have been produced, not on Tracy Anderson.

The cover art is very glossy and Tracy looks really orange and the label on the front of the dvd itself looks odd-smeary looking. I had PDSI before and tre=aded it away. It did not look like this. IDK? Most of the other Tracy A workouts I have have her name printed on the back of the dvd around the inner ring.

It sounds like a fake and you'd know since you had the original before. I don't think Tracy's doing dvd-r anymore and you said it's a just launched seller. I'd be suspicious.

The seller may not know for a fact it's a fake (benefit of the doubt), but if she does it's fraud and serious copyright infringement. Take it up with her and with Amazon and see what they say. I got something fake from EBay and when I reported it to the seller she wanted me to send it back eating the cost of shipping both ways as if it was just a case of an ordinary dissatisfied customer. I immediately reported her to EBay and that shut her right down. She never contested in the complaint resolution process and I got a full refund. I threw the thing out.

The question you have to ask yourself is, in your mind is the (probably) bootleg copy worth the $$ you paid. If not, deal with Amazon and the seller so you get your money back and you may or may not have to return the DVD. If you keep it and it's bootleg, you're getting something stolen for free, i.e. benefitting from the criminality of the bootlegger.

This same thing happened to me but on Ebay when I bought a TA dvd. I got my money back. Ebay and Paypal told me to keep it. What I did instead was contact Tracy's customer service who advised me to send it to them and they will report it to their legal dept. As long as you do that, you won't be benefiting from the bootlegger. You've be reporting it to the company and they will go after the bootlegger through legal channels.

I'm pretty sure this seller (or these sellers) know that they are fakes. I was considering buying a copy of Tracy's PDS 2. I watched the listings at Amazon over a few days (because I like to see if the price changes ) and a new seller pops up every couple of days with the same low price - while the previous seller 'disappears'.

I'm confused. Why do you want to keep the DVD if you think it's counterfeit and you are asking for your money back?

That is exactly what has been happening on amazon! The seller just launches with a low prices sells the one item and disappears! I should have known better. The other times I bought TA dvds from amazon it was usually thru tracyandersonmethod anyway. One time a bought Dance Cardio from a seller and It was $25 bucks and it was a legit dvd. Weird. The seller I went with had only one other thing for sale- TA PDSII-probably a bootleg too. You guys are all right about your advise! I have emailed the seller and amazon-now I need to see what they say. Keep ya'all posted!
