Most hard-core collectors of classic movies have felt frustrated when those elusive titles they've so desperately sought fail to show up on DVDs from the major studios. In many cases, this is due to the fact that there are legal clearance issues that haven't been resolved, while in other situations, the films in question have simply been deemed too uncommerical to merit priority consideration. Thus, the web has spawned countless homegrown sites that offer these unreleased favorites on bootleg DVDs. Inevitably, the owners of these sites don't view themselves as video pirates - a term generally relegated to large-scale operations designed to mass produce the latest hit movies and flood the market before legitimate video releases can occur. Rather, these folks tend to be well-meaning and generally only seek to make a modest profit to cover the time and effort expended in duplicating films for other collectors on a one-by-one basis. The problem is that the Motion Picture Association of America doesn't get misty-eyed over the concept of movie fans duplictating films for the sheer love of cinema. To the MPAA, it's all piracy, even if the intentions of these small-time operators are pure. In recent months, the MPAA has launched a crackdown that has seen some of the most popular bootleg sites shut down. Thus, you may have a real problem getting completing your collection of every My Mother, the Car episode. To read Home Media Magazine's article about the crackdown, click here
