Default The "DVD" men that sell fake DVD's

Now for the past 2 years i have worked in alot of different building sites rangeing from London to Worcester and there is ALWAYS WITHOUT FAIL a group of Chinese lads selling the copied DVD's

There must be one big fuck-off underground DVD ring that the all belong too as they are fooking everywhere

Anyone else find this as i have asked a few people and they say exactly the same

China's idea of copyright and intellectual property are very different from the rest of the world - which is why people always talk about the Chinese being boot-leggers/media pirates.

Used to be a really handy chinese dude that came round one of the places i used to work in Maidenhead...

He was permanently happy and used to come bouncing through the door with his shout of "Herro! You want DVD?" - He also used to sell 200 cigs for £25 which was of far more interest than the DVDs

I have a guy out of a chinese POW camp come round every week with the DVD.

I say "step into my office and let me check the quality of your merchandise before I hand over any bling".

we get loads

get the £5 crap shire from the chinky bloke, dvd think that the only word he knows

also got a bloke does them for $4 each but rates them and will only sell copys that he rates between 8-10 but really he only prefers to sell 9 or 10 out of ten and if you not happy he gives you anougher copy but 99% of the time his copys are as good as the origanals

he was selling the stars wars 5 dvd box set for £15 quid and if no one told you then you wopuld not realize it was a copy also got the only fools and horse box set with every single episode ever made for £35
