    HELP Pirated movie?

    I think I just got a pirated movie from www. Familydvdoutlet.com. The movie did not have the outer sleeve that the store had and it also the pic looks fuzzy. I am upset because I want to make sure my purchase counts toward more stargate movies. Who should I contact?

    is it blue or silver on the back?

    if it's blue, then yeah, it's a rip

    I'd contact MGM

      It's sliver but I have ark of truth and the art work on all my other stargate dvds the corners are rounded like all 200+ dvds I own. there was no insert which every stargate mgm dvd has. the dvd if you look at it under light has what looks like chinese symbols. all other stargate including ark of truth has a barcode and what looks like numbers. Also Nero allows me to make a copy of Continuum but not of the ark of truth. also Ark like all says dvd video continuum on dvd says dvd-9

            Yeah, they look kinda fishy. Their great big Disney box set had Tom & Jerry cartoons in it....

              turn them into MGM, or contact the FTC (federal trade commission)

              those two entities might be able to do something about it.

                  I was searching through their catalog and they are totally fake. They have all 18 seasons of The Simpsons when the company's have only released 1-10. They have boxed sets of shows that don't have box sets and season 7 of scrubs which isn't out yet. They are fake. Glad you caught them. Try to not buy from them again even if they are cheap.

                    Yeah I've given up on buying from cheap online outlets. Either scout the sales in the local shops or rent if you want to go cheap. I bought Band of Brothers from Ebay, they promised that they were authentic, but when I got it the content on Disc 6 was an exact copy of Disc 5, so I never got to see the end of the series. I actually threw a stool at the TV I was so frustrated.
                    Science fiction movies are weak just where the science fiction novels are strong - on science. But they can supply something the novels can never provide - sensuous elaboration by means of images and sounds. Science fiction films are not about science. They are about disaster.

                        I called MGM they had a hard time finding someone to report this to. Finally they transferred me to the Fox Anti-Piracy hotline.

                        I also found this

                        MPAA ANTI-PIRACY OFFICE
                        15503 Ventura Boulevard Encino, California 91436 (818) 955-6600

                          I'd just stick with contacting the company and not bother the folks at the MPAA. It might backfire on you, though you've done nothing wrong.

                            MPAA is likely to sue you. Stay away.
