You will notice on the top right hand corner that the W. DVD looks conspicuously fake. It probably is. I bought it in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, from the country's most popular shopping centre . I asked the shop attendant, "original?" He said yes, everything in the shop is original. I had no doubts. In my mind, I thought this is a top shopping mall, mind you, and I've seen cops patrolling the streets in front. I later found out from a local friend that the DVD is indeed original, and that there are no piracy laws in Bangladesh. I assumed he meant that even a pirated disc is considered original. I brought the disc back in good faith. In this time of torrent, a loyal (original) DVD collector is a rare breed. Surely my shelves of 200+ originals can make up for a folly, if it should even be a folly in the first place.
