the bootleg dvds came in clutch, I was surprised how high quality it was and I remember seeing a lot of them at local restaurants or on the street. Now almost 20 years later they still hold up and is better than streaming tbh.
you had to buy the packs of burner disks, then you had to get the desired movie, then you would need a disk burner which was not cheap back then like 145-200 bucks. now they cheaper but that's a tutorial basically.
its probably so old that nobody cares about, they only crack down on people distributing the bootlegs and making money but it seems like he was just doing it for himself
