How can you expect someone working in a record shop to know that something isn't legit that has been supplied via official channels? You can't. It isn't like DVDs by this label come on DVD-Rs with low quality booklets or anything.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, that's true... good post.

That was 100% profit for the store.[/QUOTE]
Haha... that's awesome!

Masterplan released these DVD's.
Masterplan is a company wich has cheap releases of DVD's. They most of the time just give official releases to circulating bootlegs without changing them a lot. Actually the only thing wich changes is that they add there logo very big in the corner of the screen during the entire concert. They have horrible releases.
The positive side is that they bring "bootlegs" or unkown shows to a bigger public (for not o mutch money). This way I layed my hands on Black Sabbath Live In Paris '70 and Rainbow Live At The Budokan '84.[/QUOTE]
That's right, they are crap! The Black Sabbath DVD looks like a high gen copy of an VHS and their "logo" ruined everything.
But you can get these DVD's everywhere here in Germany! Masterplan released Gun's 'n Roses in Chicago'92, The Who live '75 , Led Zeppelin live at Knepworth'79 & Earl's Court'75 (only parts of)Kiss Live and Metallica Live in San Diego'92 (which i wonder - this concert is part of the official "Live Shit"Box.)
I don't really think this is approved my the record companys...

Yesterday I went to my local Anttila-department store which is one of the major store-chains in Finland. I noticed they had racks of these masterplan dvd's from various artists. Among them were the two titles Queen - Japan 85 and Rio 85.
Both cost 11.95€ (15.9U$D) and I was curious enough to purchase them. Absolutely the same as VHS-quality (naturally) down to the end credits, but since I don't have these on DVD in any format I felt like they were worth the price. The disc footage carries the annoying MP (Masterplan) logo in the top corner.
The department store (Anttila) had been selling these types of discs for a few years already and I doubt they'd get away with selling actual pirates or bootlegs since we have very anal/strict copyright people who will not hesitate to strike down on all horrible humanity threatening people, such as mp3-downloading kids or major retail chains selling un-authorized dvd's.
