Although I do believe, frankly, that if it weren&#8217;t for the legal trouble surrounding the film, Band would have released it as is and not change any of the film&#8217;s FX in the slightest. In that case, Disney would not have noticed until much later, and then Band would have gotten has ass sued, so to speak. Not the first Charlie found himself in such legal trouble, and it wouldn&#8217;t be the last, either.</p> Great review.

As the blu-ray set is sadly region A only - and I’m from Germany (region B) - I’ll buy the season 6 dvd which is available in PAL format and region 2 & 4.

Helped me keep my sanity trying to draw a conclusion regarding the item I now hold in my hands, but I&#8217;m afraid I&#8217;m still at a loss&#8230;. Similar to Doug&#8217;s post above, I received* a copy of Person of Interest Season 5 DVD from eBay and at first glance it doesn&#8217;t appear right, it has a clear case instead of a black one and opaque disc prints instead of translucent, and it had shrinkwrap added after it already received damage to the slip and notable fingerprints on the discs. Per my own history in the secondhand space that seemed suspect, however, unlike my prior experiences with DVDs of this series, this copy is from region 2, namely France, and I can&#8217;t find any other information that relates to this release specifically, so perhaps this is normal? So I found your post and Nero Info Tool, which I was surprised to find reported&#8230; all signs point to legit. Dual layer, CSS/CPPM, correct titles, region and formats. The underside of the disc looks normal as well. If not for the strange disc prints, I wouldn&#8217;t question the <em>discs</em> themselves even if the <em>case</em> is a reproduction. It&#8217;s quite the mystery! </p> <p>*I actually purchased the blu-ray and they sent me a DVD by mistake; when I pointed this out to them they vowed to make it right and they sent me&#8230; another identical DVD. I unsealed one of them to investigate it after noticing the damage beneath the shrinkwrap. In the end I&#8217;m glad I got the blu-ray I wanted from another seller because that at least I know is real lmao</p> Firstly thanks so much for writing this post and keeping up with it!

I purchased a set of &#8220;The Cosby Show: 25th Anniversary Commemorative Edition&#8221; on eBay from an individual seller. The cover art seems really dark so I started with suspecting a counterfeit. However, it&#8217;s on 2-layer, pressed discs with CSS/CPPM copy protection. There is no show title around the center hole. However, the discs are region 0. I&#8217;m not sure what to think on this one.</p> I just ran into an interesting one.
