In some of those places, there is a significant believe that the movie
studios "seed" them with the DVDs, for whatever reasons.  An example given
is the original Star Wars trilogy.  Way back when, when IV-VI were not
available on official DVDs, you can get them on "DVD9" in certain markets.
The quality wasn't of videos lifted from VHS.  The menus and opening other
"extras" were professionally done, certainly not something a pirate group
would spend time and resources on, normally, I'd think.
