Oh no, I know they would be bootleg and not worth the price of the 
DVD they were copied onto, what I meant was, is it really allowed on 
ebay?  I know Jo (it seems strange to call a grown woman I don't 
actually know by her first name) JKR has had terrible problems 
with 'autographs' and signed copies of her books being flogged on 
ebay (flogged in the British sense, meaning sold, not flogged as in 
beaten!), and there doesn't seem to be a lot she can do about it.  
When I have looked further there are loads of people offering bootleg 
DVDs, some of which haven't even hit the cinemas in the UK yet.  But 
who in their right minds buys this kind of cr at p which will surely be 
of terrible quality and probably feature various members of the 
audience coughing or getting up to the loo?  I know Warner Bros make 
oodles of money from folk like us, but you know you're getting a good 
quality original item. My mind boggles.
