Whether these discs are sold on the street in New York, or at a video store in Utah, they are still considered "bootleg copies" because they are not sold by the original company who put them out on disc (or VHS). You cannot burn DVD's or CD's and sell them. It is against the law and way you slice it.

They are sold in a two-pack with the original included. The studio loses nothing.

Well I had no idea they come in a two pack.

I will ask this question though, isn't it against the law to make a copy of anything the is copyrighted. Even if you burn a copy of your own CD to listen to in your car so the original doesn't get torn up, isn't that against the law?

I understand the FBI will not bust into a car and take someone to jail over a few burned CD's (priorities would be rather mixed up!) but the fact still is, it is against the law to make copies of any copyrighted materials, even if it is solely used for your own personal use.

Exactly.

Copyright laws are to protect intellectual property for the sake of the revenue it generates for the owner.

Not because their feelings are hurt that someone is watching what they consider to be a superior version of the work.

This is just narcissistic Hollywood brats throwing a hissy fit, demanding to be loved,"Just the way they are".
