DVD: Pirated or Original?

[VtEC]

I used to buy pirated DVDs sa Divi, Star Mall, etc. but
more often than not, I end up being frustrated.

Pag-test kasi nung vendor, OK siya. But when I get
home and play it, it ends up as "bad disc" or it freezes
up at the middle part.

why not get the sample then

funny but we do buy pirated disks for my daughter's bratz and barbies and educational cd's as well.

Few years back when I'm stationed in Taiwan, I do buy & collect original DVD and they are expensive, but now I'm based here is Shanghai I buy & collect pirated DVD 9 movie which is almost similar with that of the original DVD.

What I'm collecting now are those concert DVD, and these kind of DVDs are not easy to find and far more expensive than those DVD movies.

yeah i do. those "teenage movies" are usually my target for bootleg copies and korean-novelas ;all the rest I buy original.

I no longer buy DVDs. I borrow na lang.

Lately, hindi na rin borrow. I wait for HBO na lang.

I still buy pirated DVDs. Kahit na nagmura na yung mga orginals, di pa rin practical for me to buy those originals when I can get equal value in terms of audio/video quality sa mga binibili kong bootleg DVDs.

I never bought any pirated and no plans of doing so.My entire collections are
originals, i don't want to be an accesories doon sa mga unscrupulous business
people, it kills the industry...that's my fair share.

Dati nabili ako ng pirated. Pero tinigil ko na. Di maganda ang sound. At saka, pumapaltos pag sa Bose 3-2-1 GSIII player ko, pinanonood ito.

Puro orig na lang binibili ko. Inaabangan ko na lang pag-sale may sale mga DVDs.

Ako mas madami pirated, mga orig ko yung mga gusto ko lang na movies & concerts for my collection. Now, I rent pirated, kaya mas mura hehehe

The DVD's we have at home are all originals and all movies we like only. Most other movies/shows we have are recorded from Cox Cable/DirectTV. I do rip some rental DVD's to Divx. But, most of those we already have in old VHS format.

I do save streaming format shows like Voltes V and Starblazers because they're simply too hard to find. They're too low-res for tv. But, they look ok on the iPod/PSP.

diba when you buy the quiapo dvd, download via *******s they are all considered piracy...

i do both, its not that i patronize the real thing, but i want to be updated with new movies and series
