My take on that statement was that if the guy lived in the US where the DVDs were readily and legitimately available, THEN this would be about his greed. I don't believe it was being implied that people who live in the US are innately greedy - but hey, that's just how I read that statement.

However, the way it was worded sure made it sound like that greed is only a US phenomenon.

I'm surprised this thread has been revived and is becoming controversial. I laughed at the guy's audacity, but I'm not that keen on people selling fakes on Ebay. As others have said, at least he is relatively honest about it, inasmuch as you can call selling illegal copies of someone else's copyrighted material honest. At least you know what you are getting, and while he does seem to have a cheek, maybe this sort of stuff may encourage the production of region free fitness products and fair shipping prices. |

There are others, too. Like Rapidshare and Megaupload fourms. There's a popular Rapidshare forum that has a forum dedicated to fitness videos. I'm not advocating you use them, but they are definitely out there. It isn't hard for someone to source copyrighted materials that can then be resold on Ebay or Craigslist or even Amazon. With a little time and initiative, anyone can easily start a bootleg operation.

crazy.... never know what a torrent was. I am surprised that these torrent sites and such aren't shut down by the powers that be.
I have to admit- years ago I purchased a winsor pilates DVD. The seller on Ebay said- Winsor pilates power sculpting series- 4 workouts on 1 dvd. Nothing else stated. This person had perfect feedback in the thousands... I bough the DVD only to discover that it was a bootled/burned DVD where she had put all 4 of the workouts on 1 DVD, not what I thought I was buying at all. This person sold hundered and hundreds after me, but was shut down at some point.
