If it was legit, one would have expected to see a Chinese M13 sub on the internet somewhere. Price is also too low which makes me think that the offer is for something like a M13 tv special, or maybe it is just a box with the artwork + a blank disc.

I dunno, if you want to speak technicalities. I mean, yeah, piracy is stealing (I'm not gonna be one of those dudes who tries to pretend it isn't), however you're not actually stealing anything in that situation. Now, knowingly buying stolen goods is a crime also, but I don't know how it's treated in comparison to the actual theft itself.
Also, realize that because this is a bootleg copy before the actual DVD's release, it's probably a cam/telesync of the movie, so bad quality. There's always the chance that it's an early dvdrip leak, but I wouldn't count on it.

Whenever i download or buy something pirate, craked or whatever, i remember the real price of that thing, for instance, i don't think U$500 is a good price for a copy of pinnacle software, or U$400 for a single license of photoshop, it's too much, so, after all they blame us but the real culprit is themselves.

Not that it matters, as it can't be the real thing, seeing that it's not scheduled to come out until later this year.Yardbird wrote:I agree with you, but it has other points of view...

I think you're missing the point of their pricing. It's aimed at professionals who are going to make money with it.
With that in mind it's not too much at all, it just seems that way for us non-professionals.
That said, I haven't bought it either (even though I could get the student version for about 15-30% of the full retail price).
