While I've unknowingly bought bootlegs from Amazon marketplace and been really mad about it, I've also knowingly bought bootlegs of videos which were otherwise unavailable to me. For example, despite there being a big market for it, for some reason the owners of the rights to the movies Koyaanisquatsi and Powaquatsi completely refused to allow the movies to be re-released. As a result, genuine copies were selling for insanely high prices on Ebay and Amazon. Someone offered to sell me bootleg copies at a reasonable price, and I jumped at the chance. It's not like the money for the genuine used copies were going to the filmmakers, anyway. When the films were re-released I bought genuine copies.
As another international VFer, I genuinely think this guy is coming from a place of frustration. There have been some videos I haven't been able to buy because the manufacturers wouldn't ship to Canada, or because their shipping costs were unreasonably high (I've seen everywhere from $20-$95 to ship a single DVD to Canada). And you know what? If the manufacturer is not interested in dealing with customers in a reasonable way, I would be more than willing to buy it from a bootlegger who is -- if they are honest about what they are doing. I think this is very different from people who mass produce bootlegs of widely available workouts like Cathe's simply to make some money by undercutting retail prices. Manufacturers who try to maintain a stanglehold over distribution by cutting off particular markets can't be suprised when this sort of thing happens. If there is a captive market, respond to it or someone else will. |

I never believe in blaming a victim, and I don't believe the argument that it's the company's fault someone stole from them. Whether you continue to fuel it, at least admit it's illegal piracy and not a charitable act.
I used to help get companies licensed to do business in other U.S. states and sometimes there were hangups and holdups and increased costs for just that, so I'm inclined to believe there could be hardships in selling internationally as well, even if they aren't readily apparent to a potential consumer.

There is a thread on the Collage forum about TA meta. There are 2 posts on that thread begging the OP to make them copies or upload meta online. While I have no proof, expereince tells me they intend to make bootlegs not workout.

It also might be available from www.fnac.com (though they are all in European region codes).
