eBay DVD Pirates, ARRRRRRR...

I hate DVD Pirates.

This SOB pulled a clever one.

He had 100% feedback when I saw his auction for mulitple Star Trek Box sets of Deep Space 9.

I had not had problems before purchasing many different kinds of DVD on eBay before. Everything I purchased and sold was original legit studio manufactured DVD's.

This person, with 100% feedback mind you created a typical auction, simply without pictures (feedback was the trust issue here) and even went so far as listing the UPC codes these box sets normally carry.

When I opened the box that was shipped to me I instantly knew I was ripped off. Huge DVD Keep cases (not what the studio normally sends) and inkjet out of focus blurry labels on every Disc, over 50 of them, all $300 down the drain for bootleg copies.

I emailed him and left negative feedback, as shown in the link above, he claims that they were not "pirates" but simply used. OK Ill give him that, used Pirated copies.

It would appear he has pissed off a few others and is no longer an eBay account holder. I am still waiting to see what PayPal does with my complaint.

I have contacted the MPAA and they have all his info. I hope this person really gets his just desserts with this one.

Being an avid DVD movie collector who supports the format fully, I do not mind personal backups for use when traveling in the like. But making copies and SELLING those under the pretense that you are getting legit product sets my blood boiling.

Here is a picture to the offending media.

New Addiction...

The new addiction in town since November of 2004 for me has been World of Warcraft.

I cannot tell you how many hours into the night have been wasted away will taking hits off of this digital crack.

Try it, you will like it.

Long overdue...

It has been quite some time since I bothered posting. Many things have happened in my life since then.

In August of 04, my father was murdered by his then girlfriend, 30 minutes later, the bitch shot herself and died. Im am somewhat glad she offed herself however. It means a lot less hassle and screwups within the legal system, plus I don't have to constantly be reminded that my fathers killer was alive.

In January 05, my gall bladder had to get removed via laproscopic surgery. I had galstones. Galstones are not what you want, EVER. The doctor stated it was one of the top 10 worse gal bladders he had ever seen. Crazyness.

In March of 05, earlier this month my uncle died due to mulitple cancer types.

Probate on my fathers estate is done, and we now have his house up for sale.

We hope that we can use the proceeds from that house, and from the sale of mycurrent home to buy a newer bigger house that is closer to my work.

I hope to have this blog updated more frequently.
