most pirated dvds that has 1 movie I've seen has good quality videos, maybe because they also get it through scene releases, just i don't usually get 20 in 1 dvd, because quality for this tend to be sucks as the movies are more compressed.

Of course, however, do take into consideration the "barriers to entry" of such a plot, including the fact that you need to produce quite a bit of forgery to overcome the costs of acquiring (or even making) the equipment. Money is designed to be difficult to counterfeit, so doing so isn't exactly easy (otherwise it would have been done before). Adjusting for risk, it's probably not as good a venture as you might think...

All in all, it's probably more efficient to just start a bank. You get to create (lots of) money, plus it's all legal, so even more win. Just higher costs to start up though...

Those are bootlegs anyway, so it doesn't really count as "buying the DVD".

but some copies i bought were original dvds that converted to a pirated version which sells 1/16 of the price, maybe less than 1$ in our country, and the quality of video do not suffer, so yeah pirating still wins, lol

Yeah, pirating wins.

I also own a lot of these lots-of-stuff-in-1-DVD bootlegs, mostly asian TV drama.

In all honesty. I would rather watch a downloaded Blu-ray rip of a movie than go to the cinema. (Even if it only costs like US$2
