It’s important to be aware of bootlegs! We are still developing our Bootleg Section as we plan to provide a list of known bootleg Criterion DVDs. We want you to be cautious while shopping online and expanding your collection of Criterion DVDs.
Due to the great success of The Criterion Collection some of the DVDs have been copied and are being produced illegally, especially be aware of fake out-of-print titles. We do not believe that any of our customers would intentionally want to buy a bootleg copy of any Criterion DVD.
Soon this section will provide information on known Criterion bootlegs. Please check back later.
Must know "red flags":
- If the price is drastically low. Be cautious if the DVD price is significantly lower than the MSRP (retail price).
- If an out-of-print DVD has a low “Buy It Now” price. Out-of-print DVDs are no longer being produced and tend to be worth more than those still in circulation.
- When purchasing from Asia, look to see if the DVD cover has any Asian characters on it. There have been multiple bootlegs made with this slight difference on the DVD cover. We will soon have a list with images of covers we know about.
- The seller admits that it is a bootleg or copy. Sadly, some sellers do try and make money off of these.
Please Note:
If you are aware of any bootleg Criterion DVDs please let us know so we can add the information to our webpage. We are still developing this section, but we want this to be the opportunity for all Criterion Collection fans to help one another.
We encourage you to email us at help@criteriondvd.com if you have any information or feedback for us in regards to this page and/or our website. We thank you for visiting www.criteriondvd.com! |
