Reguarding the copyright law?

Question

I recently bought Borat the movie from frys electronics. It turns out it was pirated and fake. Is this illegal if so, what can i do? And also if I can sue, how much should i sue for??

Is borat under the copyright law?

Answer 1

you can sue for actual damage, which is in this case, the price of the tape/dvd. hardly worth going to court. however the movie company might pay you a bounty for turning over evidence that they could use. they can sue for statutory damage which would apply to every single tape sold by Frys.

Answer 2

Yes, Borat is under copyright law. What you should do is contact fry's and ask them about it first.
