Cops Bust Massive DVD Piracy Ring In Texas

Ever wonder where your bootleg movies come from? If you live near Texas chances are they might have been made at a house in Fort Worth where the police just shut down a huge DVD counterfeiting ring. After receiving a complaint from a neighbor who saw a lot of late night activity at the house, the cops searched the place and found a bootleg movie factory filled with over 100 high speed DVD burners and piles of cash.

Inside the house, the DVD pirates were printing nearly 7,000 discs per hour and the police say they had burners ” alt=”" />DVD jewelers with some of the leftover discs when they’re done with the evidence. Since these bootleg movie barons were so professional, I bet the police also found some of those slick DiscPainters during the raid.

Cataloging China’s Knock-Off Goods

China’s “black market” is notorious for their awful rip-offs of other products. Amoni Exchange anyone? Pinches Chinos is a website which is focused on cataloging every piece of China knock-offs they can get their hands on.

From the stylish to the obscure, the results are hilarious. Whether they be specific attempts at ripping off another brand (such as the iFan or the Vii), or simply being lost in translation (such as our unleashing of the Sony scandal.) — Andrew Dobrow
