Unless you live in the ghetto, someone's going to report you immediately. I'm sitting on nearly 10TB of pirated content and yet I would.

>>59589300
Even if I just hand them out on the street to people who want them? Or giving them out at school? Man, that's fucked up.

>people would give you monmey for some shitty dvd when even the plebbiest of plebs know about watching movies for free online

>>59589320
It's not. It's undermining the economy that gets this content made. Instead of the money going to the authors, it's going to you. You can undercut them because you're not burdened with having to pay their salaries, but their salaries are what got it made. So all profits should be going to them to support their continued work.
The money's not yours, so I'd report you.

And we care far, far less about you. You are a literal nobody trying to leech on a beneficial system. So do the math on how this, "You vs the world" thing is going to work out.

>>59589267
Unless you intend to sell them in the poorest parts of the third world, everyone can already into torrents or watch movies online.

>Anyone have any stories or advice?
i cant believe i have to say it this way but... literally CURRENT YEAR...

if you did that 20 years ago, sure you'd be the king, but why the fuck would anyone pay you any money for what they know is an "illegal" product (USA people worry about that shit).

A product that can be easily replaced by anything else available on youtube/netflix. You realize the video rental market collapsed right? you realize theaters are hanging on by a thread right?

maybe you live in a different country and the conditions are different, maybe you could tell us the country you live and what the current economic climate is. but if you're in Europe or USA, that wave has flown away at least a decade ago.

>>59589800
I don't know about you, but I know plenty of people who don't know jack shit about what "torrenting" is. So I might make a buck or two selling movies in theatres for five bucks.

>>59589878
>So I might make a buck or two selling movies in theatres for five bucks.
only if you don't charge for your time, materials and equipment. no matter what people on the internet say all the time, pirating is not cheap nor is it free.

>>59589969
pfft. Takes maybe an hour at most to burn a movie. 50 DVDs and sleeves cost thirty bucks. Selling for $5 each leaves a $220 for two days of work.

>>59590001
So damn close to quads.

Dude just sell drugs if you're thinking about selling bootlegs. You're not gonna make shit. Your best bet is wondering a Walmart parking lot and trying to rip off poor people for $5 for the latest fast n the furious or whatever.

Literally just buy weed and sell on Craigslist instead. It would actually be less sketch. I know from experience.

You're not counting selling them retard. Try selling 50 bootlegs in a day or two and get back to me.

Just burn your movies and keep them for car rides / plane rides. Makes the trip ten times more entertaining.

>>59590148
I may do that if selling them takes more time than expected.

Basically how I made some pocket money 10 years ago
>buy bunch of CDs
>burn cartoon porn/ camrip movies on them
>sell them to nigs for 5 bucks

I could get easy 500 bucks a month out of, what? 50 bucks worth of blank CDs? That's how I bought my ps3 and my first laptop

Shit was way too fishy and I had to stop doing that because some of my merchandises ended up on principal's desk

To answer OP's question, it's 2017 and everyone and their mother could download movies even without torrent

I do bootlegs for people at work all the time, granted i don't do it for profit. my clients all give me the blank dvds. so I'm not out any money. They don't know shit about "torrents" or where to get the films or how to turn them into dvd compliant discs. All I do is let the computer do the encode work while I'm asleep, burn the dvd in the morning before i leave for work, and then give it to the client.

>>59590550
Where'd you sell?

>>59590706
lol you're getting used.
You shouldn't have to spend thirty minutes burning. Just tell them how to do it themselves.

>>59590729
Teach a man to fish, you only sell this once. Give man a fish, and you sell him fish for the rest of his life.

I think this would only work in a third world country

>>59590707
Behind school, place where "cool kids" hang around, smoking fags, brought their dad's playboy mags and stuff

>>59590782
you said yourself you're not doing it for profit retard

>>59590797
I live in 3rd world country and the only people who bought pirated dvds are;
>tech illiterates (usually middle aged blue collared workers)
>immigrants who couldn't afford to shell out 300 bucks on a crappy laptop (reason being that they could buy 32 inch flat screen tv and dvd player for less that price)
>people who live in area which 3g signal is unavailable (usually in plantation/estates or those who live in truly remote area)

>>59589267
you're a bit late

whether people will be willing to buy any will depend on where you live, if you're in a place with shit internet and no/few well-known bootleg vendors, you might have a chance

>>59590550
>2007
>still using CD

Kek

>>59590001
>50 DVDs and sleeves cost thirty bucks.
the last time i bought dvd-r's (like 10 years ago) it cost me $9 for 100

>>59589267
Oh man I miss the 90s too.

>>59591022
I could buy 2 CD-R for the price of 1 DVD-R. It's about maximizing profit.

>>59591022
>2017
>Not knowing the difference between CD and DVD

kek

>>59591029
yeah I went to shitbuy

Do kodi sticks/boxes op, normies are lapping that shit up.

If you live in a third world shithole/flyover state, you might still be able to make a few bucks off bootlegs but it's really hard to make a lot since you'd have to expose yourself at a public place like street markets and be at the mercy of cops.

Does it work to mail it to people and advertise the service on nig nog sites?

Where do you live?
Completely normal in Brazil.

>>59591527
I did not complete the sentence.
Completely normal in Brazil, but it was like 300% more strong 10 years ago.
Internet just came, it's very easy to watch a movie just by searching on Google.

Anyway, where do you live?

this reminds me ten years ago or so i bought this 500 hentai movies on dvd from ebay for fiftybucks orso i never fapped better for 3 days and 3weeks good times

>>59591483
Actually you could still make money selling bootleg dvd in remote parts of alaska because internet suck balls in places beyond big cities (2g phone signal? Hell in some place people had to carry satellite phone or HF radio) and cabin fever is an actual thing over there

>>59591564
It was really strong a few years ago in all of south america and even parts of yurop but netflix and shitty streaming sites that pop up on the simplest google search are killing the business.
Shit even my normie friends know about torrenting and if they're too lazy or illiterate they just pay for netflix until they get tired of being called a good goy by the rest of us and start torrenting.

GDP PER CAPITA IS TOO HIGH

Also doesn't help that the country is Asian so probably led by technocrats to some degree

>>59589380
You'd be surprised. If you go to ghettos people do buy burned movies there. It's not worth it though, too much work and risk for a small mark up per disc.

>>59589267
Hahaha, where do you live? I can't imagine anyone buying bootlegged DVD's when they can either buy cheap legit DVD's or pirate that shit themselves.

10 years ago i thought the guy selling bootlegs in front of Publix recorded the movies himself. what a badass sticking up to the film industry. later i realized he just sold camrips for a profit. fuck that guy

In the time that I started the thread,
I already burned five copies of La la Land and five copies of Rogue One. This is the easiest shit I've ever done in my life.

>>59592523
each burn takes between two and ten minutes, it's the conversion that takes a while depending on the file.

>>59592523
Now try go and sell them and come back with the result

protip: don't

This is a felony offence that the feds actively look for.

Also you won't get many customers now that netflix has become so popular.

>>59592622
I don't need to. I'm just gonna get a bunch of really cool movies and give them to some friends for like a dollar a piece. It's not as hard as it seems retard, i just sold two copies to some dip at this cafe.

Alright mang, but don't say I didn't warn you when you get surrounded by a fucking swat team in whatever shithole you plan to sell those bootlegs.

back in 2004 this would have been great for you. I actually did this

>ripped mkv to .vob
>virtualdubmod
>muxing audio
>creating dvd menus
>creating the navigation, chapters, etc.
>background music, bonus material

it wasn't nearly as easy at it is now but honestly anyone foolish enough to fall for your scam that would have worked 13 years ago deserves to part with it.

I sell them on the street and easily sell 150 a day. You just don't have an entrepreneur's mind.

>>59593659
>I sell them on the street and easily sell 150 a day
not in a developed country you don't. thats number one. You also can't pull that shit in south america anymore either, people are wise to that shit, that leaves shitskins and africa because in asia people know better and theres to much god damn competition, so you must be in nairobi or legos tier places to pull that sort of number or money.

Get a job, Democrat.

In the 8 blocks adjacent to my stall there are easily over 500 other stalls that do the exact same. They also sell equal or more.

Kunt was an idiot. Clearly it's possible to make pirating a universal law. That says nothing about the morals of the activity. Who cares if the industry collapses? Morality and economics have nothing to do with each other. Morality is also pointless to discuss because in the real world it comes down to what you can get away with. Take your lib arts degree and go protest.

>>59595943
this

No one's going to buy DVD's from some sketchy retard when you can pirate them for free. Why do you think movie rentals are dead? Unless you live in a 3rd world shithole you're more than a decade too late.
