Bootleggers "Get Smart" when dealing with TVBoxset.com

My wife wanted to surprise me for Father's Day. She did some shopping on the internet for "Get Smart DVD Complete Series" and found the best price at TVBoxset.com.

The DVD's arrived within a few weeks. The mailing label referenced the DVD's as Exercise DVDs with the title Get Smart cleaverly included. I think it said something like "Get Smart and Excecise"

The DVDs Covers were terrible photo copies made from the Time Warner originals and even included the Time Warner logo. The person using the scissor to cut them out couldn't even cut a straight line.

The DVD's themselves were plain white labels with simple writing like "Get Smart Disc 1". Basically, it was your cheap CD/DVD NEATO Label that someone ran through an inkjet printer.

When you played the DVD, the first thing you saw was the Time Warner/Warner Brother's Logo.

I was surprised! How can they get away with this?

We contacted them via email for a refund, because that is the only way to contact them...

The bottom line is this.
These guys are running a slick bootleg operation in someone's basement in Canada... and they are getting away with it.
