Possible Video Tape Piracy?

I recently purchased "A tickle for teacher" by Paradise Vision as a used copy on ebay.

When the tape played, it was of poor quality. All sound was coming from the right channel in the stereo - there was no left channel sound.

The case, label and insert are all black and white - probably easy to duplicate.

I looked and the seller has sold the same video four times this month.

What would an original Paradise Vision video look like?

What are you opinions?

The same thing happened to me. I purchased what was listed as an original video of "Tickling Baby" by Paradise Vision, but it was a copy.
Aside from the very poor picture and sound quality, there is about a minute or so of another movie at the beginning of the tape.
Sheeesh! You would think that this jerk would at least spring for a new tape.

So does anyone know - does a new Paradise Vision video ever come with the sound dubbed to only one of the stereo channels?

The videos of theirs that Drew has gotten in the past were stereo sound...though some still weren't the greatest quality. (Keep in mind that what he has were from EARLY days.) If this person is selling the same stuff over and over, it's most likely being pirated and should be reported directly to the producer along with a link to the ads on e-bay.

Paradise Vision's TAPE quality has alwasy been EXCELLENT..and features STero sound...the tape was probably copied on a mono-tape recorder🙄
Now what Paradise Vision puts on the tape might not be considered excellent but the video and sound is always great.
Really, if you are going to get Paradise Vision stuff you might as well get it from them**...they are not much more than what you find on EBay and you get the MUCH better video and sound.
**That is not an advertisment or endorsment, just a point.😀
