If you look around on half.com and ebay you can get all 6 R1 DVDs rather cheap used. I think I payed about $70 total for all six of my CB DVDs used. Disc 5 was the hardest to find.
I'm not sure why CloudStrife is even asking this question. It wasn't "okay" for him to buy the 3 DVD set in the first place (since it's a Bootleg). It's never "okay" to rent and copy DVDs. Nothing that goes on on this site is "okay", but it's ignored simply because the shows are not owned by anyone who is willing to bring legal action against this distribution. Renting and copying a DVD that's available in your own language and region? You shouoldn't even have to ask if it's okay to do this. CloudStrife, here's the short answer: NO! |

b) if you dont own it you dont have the right to make backups c) proper DVD box sets are worth the money in extras alone (/me hugs WHR + Last exile box sets with Tshirts, mouse mats, shot glass, Aru figure, animation cells.. etc) |

A form of the show that is graded as bootleg in this country, does not infact necessarily mean that it is illegal in another country. A set of low quality DVDs made in China, where the copyright laws are not very strict, brings little questions of legality in that country. Therefore, export of that item is rarely questioned. An item such as this, imported to the United States is marked as a product of a foreign country, therefore, owning these DVD does not necessarily mean an illegal action. This however, does not entitle you to another version of this show that is published under a different company, especially given the shadiness of your copy. It does however allow you to make as many copies of your own dvds or own a digital version of it's contents for your own private use.

so its ok to make back-ups, like if your dvd gets scratched, unrepairabally (i know its not a real word but you know what i mean), then its ok to burn a dvd of the same thing to replace it? as long as i owned it in the first place?
oh and i live in Ontario, Canada, where it is LEGAL to download, just illegal to Upload, so laws are different everywhere |

Yes. It is legal to make a back-up copy as long as your back up is the exact same thing as the original. This means that you can back up the legal 6 DVD set if and only if you buy the 6 DVD set. If you only own the bootlegs, then you can't keep a back up of the legal set. You also cannot trade, sell or load the back-up set to anyone.

PS, Yes, they are still illegal in China. Copyright still exists there, it's just not enforced. It's just as illegal to have them in the States, not because they are from a different country, but because they are stolen material.

Sorry one more question relating to this, its a long one.
Now, if i have a Fan-Subbed copy on my computer from when a series wasnt licensed, say...Gundam Seed, i know not the whole series, but its an example of a series that nearly finished before getting licensed, now if i have that on my computer, then i buy the R1 dvds, can i bearn the fansubbed copies because i like the quality better?? |

Well, in the end this is a moral issues that one needs to solve them self.
Personally, if I want to burn fan subs to disk I do. Though I'm the only person watching them and I don't sell them so I don't feel that within my moral standards I'm ok to do this. Now it still may not be legal but, I don't think the FBI will be tracking me down. And I have seen fan subs that were better then official translation. Utena comes to mind, ugg I hate the CPM translation of it.... But that's just my personal view of it.
