I think everyone has pirated something at some time in their life, even if they didn't know it at the time. Even recently I found out that I have been buying pirated movies from a professional DVD store IN THE MALL (in Thailand). We can get cheap bootleg copies on the street for about $3, which I avoid and didn't mind spending triple the cost for a non-pirated, real DVD, in a box. However, it turns out the "legit" store sells perfectly pirated copies that you would never notice until you go to watch the special features, which don't exist or 1/2 are dead. I never watch the special features but decided to for the latest Mission Impossible. Then we went back and looked at all we bought there, the same problem. Our only conclusion is they are pirated.

The kicker is, there are no other options to buy them to guarantee they are legit. The only store I thought was legit, isn't. What's worse, they may not even know it themselves. So do I keep buying what is probably pirated movies or never buy DVD again for the rest of years in Thailand? And for that matter, any country with relaxed copyright laws. What would Jesus do?
