I'm not that smart but I believe that people are under the influence of marijuana when they believe wallmart is good for their community.<br /><br />now about selling illegal DVD's, as long as you don't get caught selling them, making a transaction, i give you money and you give me bootleg DVD , nothing would stick. <br />you could get caught with 200 copies of LORDS OF THE RINGS in your car's trunk and the reason is <br />-its for your personal use-. that might sound too crazy but the Feds can't prove otherwise- no sale no case- and it will turn into civil case.

It's illegal just as selling drugs is illegal. It hurt businesses like Chatham 14 that has to pay people to sit in the theaters to watch for these guys. The less people coming to the movies means the less staff they have working. I'm not an attorney but I believe the penalty for selling illegal DVD's is greater than selling marijuana.Worlee Gloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15377083807046416048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4670547542156136826.post-89526177147116005972010-02-15T21:50:58.629-06:002010-02-15T21:50:58.629-06:00if you want that movie, there are plenty of websit...if you want that movie, there are plenty of websites offering it for free. you just need to learn about torrents or get a rapidshare account. bootlegs DVD will always be a good business, not everyone knows how to use computer and / or downloading. funny, the same guy is selling bootleg Rolex watches and gucci handbags. <br />i really don't think it is good thing for anyone. <br />The Bootleg Man at the Captain Hook's/Firehouse on 79th & St. Lawrence or the gucci handbags man at Moo and Oink on stony island might have better future selling leget products, after all The Bootleg Man is a salesman and its not easy to be lookin over your shoulders all day. <br />not long ago i witnessed the bootleg man at chatham food market parking lot selling dvd's, one of the mangers came out and asked him to leave. i thought that was a good move. The Bootleg Man makes my Chatham looks trashyadonishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12192959390388444847noreply@blogger.com
