Yes, i'm aware they are bootlegs... If you don't like bootlegs, fine. I'm just trying to help some people out here. Yeah I ordered the Complete Clip Box... It's only 30 bucks and REGION FREE... I really don't have the money right now to spend on a region free dvd player and the overpriced Clip Box... so in the meantime I got the bootleg...
I realize i'm gonna get crucifyed for this... but I kinda don't see the big problem... All of you have downloaded Ayu videos, and don't buy them afterwards, you burn them to DVD's... Don't even try to lie... I have the right to decide what I wanna spend my money on, I don't need lectures and anti-bootleg people on my back. I know what I am doing is wrong, I'm not funding Ayu... Neither are most of you... so I suggest you don't even try to say anything, because you will get caught in your own hypocrisy... Maybe instead of trying to get people to stop downloading music, we should try to stop music bootleggers...

Here's Complete Clip Box:

$25. That's cheaper then the bootleg you were financing.
If you don't have the money to buy the "overpriced Clip Box," why don't you just save your money up until you have enough? That seems reasonable enough to me.
Downloading is way different than bootlegging, as I stated before. Downloading is free. Bootlegging isn't free. Why give someone $30, when you can have it for free? And if you want it on DVD, burn it to disc. Or wait until you have enough money, then buy the legit thing. Or even buy a VCD from the link I gave you.
If you knew people were going to be upset with you, then why did you post the links in the first place? Most of us will be annoyed with the fact that you're doing this. The one's who aren't, probably won't buy the items anyway. So what's the point?
It's one thing to not fund Ayu. But it's another thing to fund someone else by not funding Ayu.
Also, what's with your last comment? It seems that you've also caught yourself in your own hypocricy...

I do feel bad... I had bought 3 Ayu CD bootlegs, this was at a time when I had no clue that they were selling bootlegs... If I had known I wouldn't have bought them in fear that it wouldn't have been good quality... The bootlegs were great, I mean the booklets were good, the CD worked fine. But I noticed there was no mention of Avex so I realized it was bootleg... I vowed not to buy any bootlegs anymore (for j-pop at least) but for lack of self-control I had to...
It's not like all the Ayu items I own are bootlegs... I'm quite pissed they had to make a bootleg of the Complete Clip Box... DAMN THEM! Someday i'll probably more clearly understand why I shouldn't buy bootlegs... I guess I don't fully respect Ayu yet...

Phantoma, there's a bootleg for almost every Ayu item. So, you just have to know the right resources to find cheap things. Ebay is what most people like to do. And no, it's not the same as giving money to a bootlegger because it's the official item, and it had once been purchased.
I don't think it's about respecting Ayu, I think it's more about knowing what's right, what's wrong, and how to know when something is too good to be true.
