I'm trying to find a couple of Chinese films. I found In the Heat of the Sun at ioffer.com.ridiculously cheap. Anyone know of this site.

Re: [Videolib] ioffer.com ??
Sounds bogus. The Berne Act is often misstated. In general it guarantees the same or greater protection in the signatory's country as in the country where the work was first copyrighted. This doesn't fit that basic guideline. I could find out for sure, if you like. mb Michael Brewer Team Leader for Instructional Services University of Arizona Libraries brew...@u.library.arizona.edumailto:brew...@u.library.arizona.edu From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Rosen, Rhonda J.

That is flat out not true. It is absurd on it's face given that the majority of films made outside the US are not released in this country.

iOffer.com is a point-point sales site (essentially eBay without the auctions.) I've seen many illegal things on there. I've never purchased any, nosirree Bob.
