I think you will find that the copies that Hassan sells are on DVD,discs,whereas  the others are copied onto CD's, which compresses the copied info.Technical eh?

Only bought 'pirate' CDs and DVDs once in Calis, from a man in Joseph's Bar. Possibly Hassan, he arrived on a motor scooter with a catalogue of titles, took orders then rode off returning later with the orders. To me he resembled the actor who played the Russian factory ship Captain in the film Local Hero. If this is Hassan then I would not use him again unless I could check the goods before returning home. On that occasion I paid for blank CDs, CDs of very poor quality and missing tracks, DVDs that were absolute rubbish, pastel colours, blurred images, and on some unintelligible soundtrack, on others background noise that blanked out the soundtrack and in a few cases the outline of people rising and leaving their seats in the cinema where the copy had been made. Really not worth the bother when new films, a few weeks after issue are available to buy,rent or hire in the UK at reasonable cost.

I also bought some DVD's from a person in Joseph's bar,a few years ago.This person fits the one John H described.When my wife and I returned to the UK,we played the DVD's and found them to be unwatchable because of the poor picture quality and sound interference.I will stick to buying DVD's in the UK in future.

I can't believe you're all happily discussing what essentially amounts to theft!
