1. Yes the prices do need updated, as does the entire website. (I've only been updating my DVD-R lists and that hasn't been updated since February) The pricing reflects what DVD-Rs cost about 2 years ago, still I have only managed to find quality name brand DVD-Rs for around $1.00 a piece or slightly cheaper if they're on sale. (never heard of the brands you use, 1 in 7 bad burns, that kind of sucks DUDE) The little equation I had was simply if you wanted to trade CD-Rs for my DVD-Rs, the price ratio is pretty much the same. But that has nothing to do with the donations or selling my DVD-Rs, that's only for the number of CD-Rs to DVD-R trade. Make sense?
2. Can you download them for free? Sure, I've never done it before, and until I found this website, I never traded that way, it was allways through snail mail. Didn't even think to host torrents. I may do that with my Night Flight DVDs eventually since they're a hot item. Torrents are still new to me, just started using them in December, until then, everything I've acquired has been my own creations or trading via snail mail. I don't claim any rights to any of my DVDs so if anyone trades with me and would like to host torrents, feel free.
3. Yeah I support bootlegging, isn't that what we're doing here or did some of us acquire licensing from Lucasfilm? I don't have any commercially available DVDs on my site unless it was something that was previously unavailble and I just haven't updated it yet. Only acception is the adult stuff which is not for sale (nothing is for sale technically) or donations. I can't police everyone's website, I know that the only 2 links I have are to good reliable traders who don't rip people off. Both have titles for sale or list their entire collection commercial dvds as well, but I don't buy from them and only trade for their RARE and or Authored DVDS. Ebay is a great source for RARE dvds but I rarely buy dvds there, I contact the sellers to see if they're interested in setting up a trade.
3. In regards to the adult dvds, first the link states that you must be 18 to trade, second it says, they're not for donations, third, I only trade for other adult titles from traders I know are 18 years of age or older, NO ACCEPTIONS. And finally, if you checked out the list you would see that it's pretty tame just incase prying eyes check it out. There are no pics and most of the titles have been censored. That portion is PG to PG-13 at worst. Hey isn't ROTS going to be PG-13?
I don't believe in selling DVDs for a profit, the donation is merely an option that people rarely use. Some people want dvds and have nothing to trade, the $10.00 donation covers cost of media, shipping, ink for labels and paper sleeves or cases, time and cost to drive to the post office, and wear and tear on my equiptment. I've gone through 3 DVD recorders, the first cost me over $350.00. I have never made a penny on this nor have I wanted to, haven't even come close to recouping my costs, but the $10.00 donations help out to keep my trading going and keep the website up.
And besides, I posted here asking to TRADE, made no mention of selling DVDs. And wouldn't think that anyone here would need to make a donation as I have none of these DVDs that you all have acquired.
I could make a fortune on ebay or other resources selling some of my Rare and somewhat exclusive titles but I chose not to because I don't feel that's right and it certainly isn't legal.
Hope these answers are to your satisfaction DUDE.
