I love this part of the site: By entering the site and viewing the contents thereof, you are acknowledging the following statement: I affirm that I am not working for any television or movie production studio/network or affiliated organizations. I am not employed by, report to, or am a member of a professional organization such as RIAA, ASCAP, or MPAA or any other such group or association. I am not employed by the federal government, affiliated agency or any type of sub-contractor or independent agent. I am not a postal inspector. By making a purchase I understand that these trades are collector to collector and any incidental costs that may be involved are not for product, but labor and materials.

labor? putting the dvd in the burner and clicking on "copy"?

Don't labor and materials = product?

putting the dvd in the burner and clicking on "copy"?

No, no -- they worked. They only got what was torrented, after all. Really hard to grab that stuff off the tricksy interwebs and burn it. Real hard.

Good thing he's not a postal inspector.

I was worried there, for a second.

They only got what was torrented, after all.

I'm not convinced that they did. Otherwise, wouldn't it be all 8 episodes? I think these might be broadcast copies that they "taped."

But Mr. Prosecutor-- I had a disclaimer! You affirmed you weren't a fed, therefore I am innocent!

entrapment? but then, I would argue that by creating the site, the vendor made the first move.

Oh, you're right! No Aidan!

Piker.

Yeah, I don't think purchasing an illegal item constitutes entrapment.

That disclaimer is hilarious, though.

and frankly, is a nail in this person's prosecution. that disclaimer clearly shows that they were aware that they weren't supposed to be doing this.
