Fight events-know what you're buying!

on the fights what can you say,some of these you are lucky to even find a copy of and in it wasn't till the 90's broadcast quality got real good. i've purchased many fights,and have been happy to get them,from overseas sometimes the quality is lacking even more.a fan will try to use reasonableness when purchasing,some fights are poor quality,but the seller will usually let you know if you ask them.On multiple fight video the quality goes from excellent to poor sometimes.People are giving negative feedback,because 1 or 2 of the fights are not of the best quality,anfd this make sellers not want to list for fear of negative feedback.This makes the older fights even harder to find. So always ask the seller about the quality,most will even list it without asking.In regard to accusations of pirating I can't help because even if you record a TV show without permission you are a pirate.So this is a term one should be careful about using on a seller,especially on sports events.So unless a person or company actually owns the copyright and it is registered at the United States copyright office,one would want to use caution when calling someone else a pirate.Otherwise it could be a case of '"the pointing finger",that is 3 pointing back at oneself. How could a person sincerely buy a DVD with about 30 fights on it for $15.00 without some suspicion that it could be pirated?A person would have to track down every fight  and see if there is a copyright in force.A fight fan is not going to do that,seeing that he will pay as high as 25.00 for 2 fights at a retail store(that is if on the slim to none chance the store will have what he or she is looking for). That's why people buy on ebay,that's what makes ebay so great,you can get stuff a store would never stock.Recently I bought a DVD with 50 career fights that one bellyacher said was a pirate,yet i got on the copyright site and didn't find even one copyright in force.This fighter was obscure and i would NEVER find this on DVD in a store,NEVER.NEVER.Probably not even in heaven and for sure not in the other place.Ebay brings happiness to real fight fans.If a person wants to be 110% honest and there's more than one fight assume that one of them could be a pirate and DON"T BUY IT!Then you won't have to give negative feedback to the seller which makes the fights harder to get for the boxing afficianados. Also stop recording reruns of I Love Lucy,because that's piracy also!!
