They can investigate, if a buyer is claiming that the DVD wasn't original(doesn't matter Indian or English), then it should ring their bells. Strange Enuf, I got an email from some Manish advertising http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://www.holyvideos.com telling me that it has lot of Adult, Indian vids etc. First of all he spammed n on top of that doing illegal stuff (it kinda makes sense, generally spammers do illegal things) And check <a href="http://tinyurl.com/5ldp9">this</a> out. Its heigh of illegality. And the worse thing is that it is being listed on <a href="http://froogle.google.com/froogle?hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&safe=off&tab=wf&q=veer-zaara+dvd&btnG=Search+Froogle">Froogle</a> with other genuine products. An innocent consumer, would imagine that reputed companies like Google and Ebay must have verified the seller before listing him and would fall in the trap. lol Abhi, Aaina told me about that :p

I thought it was a cool way of showing how piracy has taken over bollywood. It was effective, I thought. Gaurav, fantastic article. Awareness in this field is important! :) Abhi, I saw that too on Filmfare 2003 awards. I thought it was a cool way of showing how piracy has taken over bollywood. It was effective, I thought.

In India, we have toll free NASSCOM number, where we can report piracy and get awarded upto Rs 1 Lakh ;) But really difficult to catch the Ebay sellers. Ya, saw that Abhi :) Good article Gaurav!
