Honestly I have no problem with downloading these movies on your computer or making the bootlegs yourself(because I do) but why does that ebay seller deserve to get payed for that movie thats not his. Just because its not in print now doesn't mean that other people deserve the cash for something someone else created.

A simple search shows "Joanna's" name to be something different as well.

There are a bunch of sets like these on ebay....I was wondering how the quality is on them and if they are worth it.

Finding a boxset on eBay that no retailer sells is usually a good indication of a bootleg. Coming from China is the clincher.
Even the Kubrick one that looks somewhat close to the legit version has too many movies included, different graphics, and Chinese writing. It also comes from overseas if you read the seller's feedback and you really think his 95% feedback is good?

As for not hurting anyone, well, what about the original rights holder? Perhaps these types of movies will only sell in the thousands, but seeing how readily cheap bootlegs are available, licensors may be reluctant to license something that probably won't sell too many copies and already has been widely available illegally.
