Re: How to Spot a Bootleg
I don't know how bad it is now, but at once point over half of all DVDs sold on ebay were bootlegs. Personally, I can't believe the FBI hasn't gotten more involved in ebay, since bootlegged goods often are linked to the financing of organized crime. (Mailing a bootleg through the USPS is actually felony mail fraud as well).
I'm also pretty sure every word i've just typed has shown up in this thread in the past... 5 years since it was created... wow... looked back to the first few pages and saw a lot of names that have gone away.

Re: How to Spot a Bootleg
BTW I'll add that with BDs I see an increasing number of japanese BDs being region free and even featuring english subtitles. So these two things are less of a bootleg indicator for BDs:
* If it's described as "Region 0" or "all-region", it's probably pirated; there are a few legit regionless or multi-region anime DVDs out there, but not many
* If there is no English dub track, and the subtitles are in Chinese and English, it's almost certainly a bootleg; there are almost no official licenses for anime in Chinese-language markets
