20 BUX ?? sounds like someone wants a C6 !!!

Actually my cost is $15.00 each plus shipping cost. I think it's very reasonable. If you really can't afford it I'll send it to you for $15.00
 
Listen, Cajun, my comment had nothing to do with my ability to pay 20 bux for your bootleg DVD (dispite your disingenuous reference). My comment was made to point out the crassness of you, or whoever is bootlegging the DVD, taking someone elses work product (GM's), copying it without permission and trying to sell it for $20.00. If you don't like my comment, TS
 
Ted:

Nothing personal Don't be upset.All I want to accomplish is to offer the original Owners Tape that came with the car to people who may have bought theirs used and not have access to one.These DVD's are Professionally done.
Believe me, I'm not making money off of fellow members as my cost is ,like I said earlier, $15.00 each and quite honestly,I didn't appreciate your insinuation that I was. If you think they are bootleg fine you really don't have to purchase one and would I really appreciate you keeping your sly comments to yourself.You know what they say about opinions.
 
I guess what struck me as irritating when I first saw your post, is that you were attempting to get $20 for something that you did not own. Probably, it wouldn't even caught my attention if you had just offered it as a freebie for the folks on the forum. Kind of a 'pro bono' deal. But, and a BIG BUT, is the profit making motive. The original video was made by GM. I'm sure it was not done for 'free'. It is and was their product. I'm sure there is a copyright on it. In any case, it is not your work product and you have no right to copy and SELL GM's work product for personal profit!

I was wrong on one thing. What you are doing is more properly called 'piracy' instead of 'bootlegging'. Here is the issue:

Anti-piracy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Anti-piracy describes the attempt to prevent misappropriation of intellectual property typically occurring by copying of copyrighted work without permission or payment of royalties to the originator or rights owner.
It includes, but is by no mean limited to, the combined efforts of corporate associations (such as the RIAA and MPAA), law enforcement agencies (such as the FBI and Interpol), and various world governments to combat software piracy and other forms of copyright infringement. These measures often come in the form of copy-controlled software or audio-visual media, such as regionally-encoded DVDs

WHAT IS COPYRIGHT?

Copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States (title 17, U.S. Code) to the authors of “original works of authorship,” including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works. This protection is available to both published and unpublished works. Section 106 of the 1976 Copyright Act generally gives the owner of copyright the exclusive right to do and to authorize others to do the following:
• To reproduce the work in copies or phonorecords;
• To prepare derivative works based upon the work;
• To distribute copies or phonorecords of the work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending;
• To perform the work publicly, in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and motion pictures and other audiovisual works;
• To display the copyrighted work publicly, in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and pictorial, graphic, or sculptural works, including the individual images of a motion picture or other audiovisual work; and
• In the case of sound recordings, to perform the work publicly by means of a digital audio transmission.

So, bottom line, what you are doing is dishonest. You ARE making money off of fellow members if anyone is dumb enough to send you 20 bucks. And by the way, I don't do 'sly comments'. I call em as I see em.
