One guy is named covermean and the other is digitaleyesdvd nether from Utah and I never said bought Cowboy Bebop I just said I saw it and how can a bootleg have a all rights reserved thing and FBI warning. Also you didn't tell me how such a large operation can sustain it's self under ground. Also the box set does look like the top pic.


A large operation can sustain itself because the feds have bigger fish to fry and it can cost the companies in legal fees to sue and protect their properties than the profits lost.

Digitaleyesdvd seems fine - given they have a legit commercial (and as far as I can tell, bootleg free) website and they also advertise on AnimeonDVD.

I'm in definite question as to the prices covermean is selling the products for however. In fact, given certain things he is selling, I will state that the other seller is selling bootlegs.

As far as a bootleg having the FBI warning? That's incredibly simple. DVD-Rip - Even I can do that much on my home PC should I choose to.

Well from the product I got from covermean it doesn't seem like bootleg it even came with this weird DVD with the openings of old live action series‘. But I will try to pay more attention to what I buy also most DVDs have encoding that don't allow you to change the content.

He has Sailormoon Season 2 Uncut DVD Box for $38.88? Oh yeah, that's bigtime boots.

I'm not sure what you mean about being encoded so you can't change content. I can rip DVDs to my harddrive and edit them as I please if I feel like it.
