I have not been soaked yet; I am just trying to find out what is going on. If it is legal to purchase a DVD made under a legal license and sold in China, I would like to know. It is too expensive for me to fly to China to buy DVDs myself, and if these $7.50 DVDs are legal (actually $6.00 if you buy four and get one more free) I would like to buy them from the web site that I found out about. Next time you are in a Walmart, would you mind taking a look at one of those legitimate DVDs and see if there is any fine print that says "may not be legally exported" or "export to the U.S. is prohibited"? I am also uneasy about giving my credit card number to a service that is engaged in illegal activity, and that is the only way to buy these DVDs. Years ago I knew a Finnish graduate student at Harvard who remarked blandly that Finland did not recognize copyrights of Western countries and that he could therefore make any use he wanted to of copyrighted matrerial to help his own careeer as a scholar. I am not sure that advocating free trade ought to be the same thing as advocating predatory and illegal practices.
