I'm not always up to speed on the rules at DVDTalk, but isn't there a policy of not supporting illegal bootlegs? What's up with David Walker's review of Come Drink With Me? That IS an illegal bootleg. Come Drink With Me, like most of the Shaw library, has been remastered and released in Region 3 by Celestial pictures:

A few companies have bought the Region 1 rights to some of these remastered Shaw classics, but one of the reasons they haven't been released in Region 1 is because so many of these bootlegs are out there and have destroyed the market for legitimate R1 releases.
