Is that important? It's pretty obviously a copy.

No not really, some people think saying that will keep it legal but it doesn't work. They are not selling an authorised or licensed product. Thats why all the websites selling "back-up" games, films etc get shut down.

borosteve_2

You could however (theoretically) include your back-up disc if you are selling the original.

There's even a specific category on ebay for reporting backup copies.

Not a bootleg seller, but I saw a business seller who said "FREE NATIONWIDE DELIVERY" in the subtitle but then in the listing charged up to £200 for it. They also charge 5% for paying by paypal, I reported but their listings haven't been touched :rolleyes:

This seller is actually providing a much needed service for those of us with children and small dogs who suffer from a severe alergic reaction to popcorn molucules in the air when attending cinemas.
Please think of the children and small cuddly animals.
And allow this considerate seller to continue with his philantrophy.

He's listed another bootleg movie
