DVD: Pirated or Original?

**XTO** · October 15th, 2007 04:27 PM

Are you an advocate of pirated DVDs?

I used to buy pirated DVD sa may muslim area in quiapo. Now sa 168 or DiviMall.
But recently, majority of dvd’s are in a compilation type. Meron pa bang single or 2 movies in 1?…wag lang mga 6 or more in 1.
Nalala ko lang kasi my daughters keep asking me to buy High Schoo Musical 2

matagal na ko di bumibili ng pirated dvd...naghihintay na lang ako i-sale ung mga orig but i only buy the good ones.. yung tipong kahit ulit-ulitin mo ay di nakakasawa..

yung mga bago movies, usually puro download na lang.. hehe

hangga't maari mag original DVD's na lang me sale VIVA Video sa mga malls as high as 70% discounts on VCD and DVD's konti nalang difference and halos new titles naman available.dahil to sa anti piracy act ng VIVA bagong promo para sugpuin pirated CD's I think effective and sulit para sa consumers

Original DVDs only. Haven't bought one in a long time though (have a lot more priority purchases than DVDs).

If you can't afford original DVDs, then just go for VCDs - it's that simple.

IMO - supporting pirated goods makes you like the government crook that you despise since you don't pay the right taxes & duties and you screw people out of their livelihood.

I think it’s not a question of can afford or not. I have original dvds too from US as well as from local video shops.
They’re selling pirated here that’s why I buy from them whenever I consider one especially for kids. It’s simple as that.
I’m just amazed that there were discs with 6-12 movies stored in one and I think it’s a no no quality compared to single or 2 in 1.

I've been collecting original dvds for years now. Lately, i've been getting pirated dvds for films that i don't really plan on keeping. Mostly art films in foreign languages. For regular releases, i do get them during sale or if the preorder promo is attractive.
