Who gives an eff? Fair play to him. Fairly sure Richard Branson started out by bootlegging records. If he was selling movies or TV series and denying the artists income then fair enough, you are hitting people in the pocket and you take that risk then you have to pay the price if caught. Buy this is essentially a victimless crime - a niche market which he filled with his own effort.DavidOwen67 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2019 11:52 pmI think it's more to do with him selling at least 10,000 of them.Murphio wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2019 10:54 pm This is disgusting. So I want to buy a DVD of the 1992 Embassy and the guy selling it can be jailed? Effing hell. So ok it was copyrighted but who was he denying income? Who else was filling the market? A scandalous arrest, a scandalous case and a scandalous sentence if he goes to prison. No doubt some idiot off here or the other forums grassed him up. Pathetic. Sorry for you troubles Basgooner.
He broke copyright - so what, no different than millions do everyday uploading stuff to youtube for profit. Maybe the cops should try focusing their efforts on combating crime where there is actually a victim instead of some poor bastard who has gone to the bother of burning Ronnie Baxter v Ted Hankey to DVD and selling it for a few quid.
