If it's region free it's a bootleg.

If something seems too good to be true it generally is.

It seems to me like most of them just didn't know the difference, or didn't care that it was a bootleg (alot of people really could care less either way), but after looking through his feedback most of the negative feedback was referring to the fact that his products were bootlegs.

To be honest, for you to get CDL '01-'02 or '02-'03 at this point, they would probably have to be bootlegs unless you buy a full original Complete Live Box. I don't think anyone with the box is gonna let the two dvds exclusive to the box go (if only cuz the box looks weird with only arena tour & stadium tour in it, nevermind how rare they are). The best dvd bootlegs of them will probably be the miya records releases (which what these auctions look like they are). Bootlegs never look quite as good as the original but from what i've seen & heard the miya ones are closest.

Unfortunately, there aren't too many legal region-free DVDs available anywhere (just yet). You know they do all this region coding to prevent a lot of bootleg/pirating (although obviously that stuff still happens).

Oh but please don't trip over that ladybug...

Only think that doesn't have a region are VCD's and sometimes Korean dvds.

With avex stuff (ayu's at the very least), only the VCDs are region free. Even korean dvds are region 3. With ayu stuff, if it's region free, it's always a bootleg.

Japanese products from Ayu will always be coded Region 2

Asian products will always be Region 3, there's no free region.

The original boxes have a white DVD logo on the cover (has them) if I were you I'd buy the 02-03. I just recieved mine (its bootleg) but its perfect quality with the same booklet and the spine only has minor diffrences.
