There were several stalls selling dodgy DVD's - not sure this should really be acceptable. I'd be interested to know what the guests thought of this, considering it is their industry that is suffering from piracy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verem Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 There are many programs and movies where the copyright has elapsed and they become "public domain". So quite often it is legal to sell these. It is possible to check online for what is public domain or not. I have seen the dealer (who tends to have stuff in yellow cases) at events where the OFT have entered and examined items and he has not been hassled. However, there still may be a few that slip through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
