If you look around, you'll notice some DVD vendors on Ebay will note things like "not bootlegged!" and similar notations. Some of the official/original DVDs that are really cheap are really those made for the Asian market (they do often include English as optional languages).

Yeah, I noticed (after some more browsing) that some sellers do explicitly state that an item is "not bootlegged." I'm just wondering who these people are who give these bootleg sellers positive feedback? They're probably just happy to have a copy of the movies, even if bootlegged. Thanks for the tips, Phisch.

My brother, for instance, got a bootlegged version of a movie called Night of the Lepus. It's no longer available, if I remember what I was told correctly, even on VHS. I think he wanted it because it is hilarious--it's also the movie playing on the TV in Matrix when Neo visits the Oracle. Yep…definitely the latter.
