Are you a knock-off Nigel?

Imagine being lucky enough to be part of a film that smashed box office records, only to find that knock of Nigel from down the street is selling duplications for £3.00 to all his dodgy mates, you certainly wouldn’t be very happy would you!

This seems to be happening more and more these days. Someone, somewhere is always doing a DVD duplication of chart topping films to sell to mates at work and down the pub. Film piracy is on the increase and tackling it now could mean it generating £614m for the economy.

If i want to see my favourite celebrity in a film, I’ll either go and watch it at the Cinema or wait until it comes out on DVD, i would never illegally download it or buy a knock off version, but, i am aware that this goes on a lot. The film industry have already tried to sort the problems out by implementing fines for people seen with a camera or recording equipment in the cinema and have even tightened up regulations at car boot sales.

What is your opinion on duplicate DVDs? Would you rather see your favourite actor or actress projected onto a huge screen whilst munching down on a massive bucket of popcorn, or would you rather spend £3 on a grainy DVD with subtitles? Let me know.
