Now, I am not hoping to get anything from Netflix for this (though I would not mind deleting this blog for a lifetime free membership) but I write this out of disappointment from receiving a bootleg copy of the last disc of the last season of Twin Peaks! You can imagine the letdown! Now, this either proves that Netflix is copying their own DVDs, which would be quite the lawsuit, but most likely it is an impressive customer made copy. But why would a customer go through so much to make such an impressive copy if they can just easily add it to their queue again? Or why not just keep the copy? Nonetheless, Netflix has bootleg copies of DVD’s in circulation, which is illegal. Anywho, here is my proof.
The Netflix label printed on the paper envelope says that Season 2 Disc 6 contains the last three episodes of the series, which is, according to Netflix, episodes 27-29. However, the printing on the actual DVD that I received says that Disc Six Season 2 contains episodes 15-18. Now this is a real photoshop of a misprint. When I play the disc, episodes 15-18 actually play but these episodes I already seen on an earlier disc! Considering that there are other blogs on the situation, what is Netflix doing to uphold their moral duty to copyright? How disgustingly blasphemous it all is! I refuse to do business with a company who violates Bush’s clearly constitutional laws. Especially when new copyright laws are permitting wiretapping, life imprisonment, seizing of computers, and the involvement of homeland security. Smell something? Agent Cooper can surely clear this mess up for us!
PS – I will keep the DVD for a few, in case somebody wants to do something with it.


I believe your story because the same thing has happened to me. I received a copy of a dvd that looks very authentic…the cover is professional looking and even has cutouts. A lot of trouble for a bootleg copy. But the most damning part of it is the actual quality. It sucks! It literally looks and sounds like someone took a camcorder into the theatres and pirated the copy in this manner. The image is fuzzy and indistinct, the sound is muffled, and the size of the film itself doesn’t match as the subtitles are swallowed up on either side of the film. Speaking of subtitles, they’re awful. “Minutes” where “days” should have been, grammatical errors everywhere, and God only knows what else is lost in the translation.
To give Netflix the benefit of the doubt, I even went on Youtube and searched for clips from the film…most were superior in quality to what I received from the “official” dvd. Hell, my cellphone recorder has better playback.
