Hey guys! I just want to ask do you buy pirated DVDs? We know that there's a strong campaign against it but still some of us are still buying these things. I must say i am guilty of this thing. How about you? :P

hi xtian, no i don't. i am a member of a local video store that rents our dvds/ vcds and so i regularly rent from there. i just have to wait for a few weeks for new movies to come but its okay for me. i like the original as the quality is really good and of course, i am helping the movie/ film industry.

Yep all the time, I love movies but simply could not afford new copies so always get them from the pirate guys, I have no guilt about it as if they didnt charge so much then people wouldnt buy them.

I used to buy years ago because original DVDs are kind of way too expensive so piracy is the only choice. Cable shows movies that are old and i would be missing a lot without it. Lately i don't see any reason to buy pirated DVDs anymore because of quality. I mean if you put 60+ movies in one DVD then for you the quality is less. It should be 1 movie per DVD so be assured of quality. Since i got my DSL connection, i quit buying pirated DVDs because most films are readily available on the net. Now if only the manufacturers and sellers of DVD will decrease the price of original copies, then that's the time i will buy.

I never buy pirated DVD's not because I feel guilty that I am doing something wrong but because the quality of pirated DVD is not anywhere near original ones. I don't like things of inferior quality.

I do not buy pirated DVD's but I only do one thing, download them. I felt cheated when buying these pirated ones because they got it for free but they sold it in the market. As for dowloading, the download community is giving it for free to those who are interested without any price.

these days some of us suffers great crisis but we still don't want to miss such a great movie that's why some of us tend to buy pirated dvds. because its affordable, and not all dvds are bad copy.. There are some old movies that much alike with the original one.
