Announcement regarding Pirated DVDs
« on: Apr 03, 2001 at 02:45 AM »
We've received e-mail from concerned members about the discussion of pirated DVDs on the site. After much thought, we've decided that a certain degree of tact and caution never hurt anyone, so here's the deal:

PinoyDVD.com is about DVDs for DVD enthusiasts. We are interested in the content and technical aspects of the DVD format, the joys of collecting, frustrations regarding pricing and availability, etc. However, the details of where and how you get your DVDs is your business, not ours. While collectively we don't agree with enforced regional coding, we do recognize that piracy is a critical concern for everyone, whether you reject it, endorse it, or occasionally participate in it.

Therefore, please limit all posts to movie title and technical references, and refrain from mentioning and discussing pirated discs. You can buy your DVDs for P10 for all we care, but if a person wants details about where you got the disc, please discuss it over PM or e-mail. As always, we reserve the right to edit posts that we feel may not represent the best interests of the community.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Understood.  Although I'd like to get as much DVD bargains as I can, regardless of where it came from, I think it's a good call to not discuss Region 0 DVDs, lest we be involved in some legal repercussions or something. :)

Agreed! Regional Coding is one of the things that nobody likes but something that's here to stay. It's better to learn to live with it than fight it.
