Question

Fans confirm that bootleg videos made by camcording movies in theaters are real and circulate at swap meets and street vendors, with poor quality from background noise.

Do they realy bootleg videos by cam-cording them off the silver screen at amovie theater? I don't want any....just seemed like a wierd way of getting the movie.

They totally do it. I know someone that bought "Jurassic Park" it's premiere week at the swap meet. The picture and the sound really sucked, but it was the movie.

You bet! My college roommate lives in NYC and on visits there, I have seen bootleg videos for sale. I also know people who have purchased them, they can be as bad as the one Kramer made for Cry, Cry Again. People laughing and munchin' on popcorn in the background.

I was not uncommon to find "said" bootlegs available on the streets of NY the same day the movie was released to the theatres. Usually right in front of the main entrance of Penn Station (Madison Square Garden) right there on the sidewalk. Many of these tapes are of very poor quaility, and I wouldn't put it into my VCR without a condom! <G>.
