thats why im asking instead of selling.....

there are ways around everything legally........how do the asians sell their discs without being locked up?

They dont get caught.[/b][/quote]

That's about right. While you'll get away with brining a few copied DVD's back from your SE Asian holiday (as long as they are purely for your own use) to do so for commercial purposes will, in legal terms, get you "in the ****".

We've had people come through the airport with large volumes of recorded discs, with DVD burners and other indications of commercial activity - and quite often the AFP (the feds, that is) take it from there.

Not that long ago, there was also the first sentence of imprisonment in Australia, for copyright infringement (this guy was doing it BIG time):

Brisbane man sentenced over fake DVD imports
The sentencing of a Brisbane man to nine months' imprisonment on charges relating to counterfeit Digital Versatile Discs (DVD) was the first sentencing of an Australian to a jail term for offences under the Copyright Act, the Minister for Justice and Customs, Senator Chris Ellison, said today.

Sydney Grant Priscott, 53, was sentenced today in the Brisbane Magistrates Court to nine months imprisonment (with three months to serve), a recognisance of $1500 and five years conditional good behaviour after being found guilty of 28 charges relating to importing, possessing and exposing for sale counterfeit DVDs.

The investigation started on 23 September 2003 when Brisbane Customs officers at air cargo detected approximately 800 counterfeit DVDs concealed in a shipment of audio speaker stands.

The shipment of DVDs had been sent from Malaysia to an address in the Brisbane suburb of Salisbury. Investigations by Customs and the Australian Federal Police (AFP) revealed this address was false.

On 6 October 2003, federal agents and Customs executed a search warrant at an address in Coopers Plains. During the course of the search further DVDs were located.

At the completion of the search a 53 year-old man was arrested and charged with offences under the provisions of the Copyright Act. He was subsequently bailed from the Brisbane Magistrates Court.

After his court appearance witnesses advised police that the man was continuing to sell DVDs at the Eumundi Pavilion Markets.

A search warrant was executed at a stall at the Eumundi Pavilion Markets on 6 March 2004 where further counterfeit DVDs were seized. On 9 March 2004 the same man was arrested in connection to this seizure of DVDs.

"The sentence handed down by the court today is the first time that an Australian has received a prison term for offences against the Copyright Act.," Senator Ellison said.

"This sends a clear message that attempts to flout Australia's copyright laws will be detected and punished.

"I congratulate the Customs and AFP officers involved in this case for their diligence and hard work in uncovering these offences and assisting in this landmark case."[/b][/quote]

I don't know what the legal position is on making "backup" copies of your own DVD's or of storing these back-ups "off site"...

... but certainly selling them would clearly infringe copyright laws, and potentially land you in more trouble than you need.

From the story quoted above you could draw your own conclusions regrading scale of offence vs likelihood of detection vs consequences.

I've got a few 4WD Monthly DVDs that came free with mags. Also got Camel Trophy LR Years, plus 2 VHS tapes of Camel Trophy events (can't check the years as I'm at work) which I've just copied to DVD (I bought a cheapish DVD recorder from Aldi a few months back), plus a Camel Trophy video I downloaded from the 'Net this week.

I'm also collecting the Top Gear episodes which include reviews of LRs

Have you seen the one where Clarkson is getting chased through a forest by a tank and he’s in a landy?

Or the one where he drives the new landy to the top of that mountain in Scotland, according to the video clip no vehicle had EVER climbed that mountain.?

If you haven’t use Google video for “land rover” “ Scottish mountain” you‘ll find it.

A mate of mine from the UK told me that after they shot the episode where Clarkson drives the landy up the mountain he got a helicopter flight back down and a flight back down south to London; but apparently he had the landy keys in his pocket so they had to leave the landy on top of this mountain overnight till the keys were express couriered back to Scotland.
(It’s a secondhand story but I thought it was a good one).

Oh by the way copying DVD’s for ANY purpose even 'backups' is illegal unless it explicitly states on the DVD that copying is allowed, (it never does).

The Camel Trophy I downloaded is 1995 Mundo Maya

The two I copied from tape to DVD are:

1987 Madagascar
1988 Sulawesi

I'm downloading '89 and '90 and the CT driving school video at the moment. There are some on the 'Net in Nero NRG format ready for burning to a DVD but I don't have Nero.
