If you're buying a DVD of a movie just released in the theatres, they are BOOTLEG COPIES and are ILLEGAL.
So, by your logic if I sell you cocaine from my variety store, that makes it legal? If that were the case EVERY drug dealer would have a storefront.....
movies in and of themselves are not illegal but selling or purchasing a pirated copy of one is...illegal. No ifs ands or buts about it. Put it another way: not all drugs are illegal, just like not the sale of all movies is lillegal. Some sales ARE illegal and cocaine falls into that category just like buying or selling a pirated disc is.
Tell me: if it wasn`t illegal and where or how you purchase something determines it`s illegality, why then doesn`t blockbuster sell these discs?
