Remember the days before streaming services were a thing? Yep, basically that: as in people would burrow a rented copy from a friend who paid money to obtain a official copy on DVD from blockbuster then ripping the contents into those blank DVDs (the white ones) meaning they've pirated a copy for home use but it's still a "torrent". I remember watching a ripped copy of Finding Nemo (or other kids movies from that era) when I was younger.

The same with "lending" a purchased copy from a store a friend has proceeding to rip the DVD content onto a blank DVD having a copy. Then there are CAM's (pirates using a video camera to record the film upon being shown in theaters) usually they do this around the debut (new releases in cinema) by sneaking a camcorder but the footage is shit (I remember back in 2010, I've seen Alice in Wonderland via CAM and it sucked due to bad resolution and audio).

Pokémon: The First Movie (1998), which I had downloaded with Kazaa, turned out to be a Pokémon hentai ripoff, which my parents got to before I had a chance to come home from school. I walked in on mom and dad sitting in front of the computer, trying to act intrigued at what they're watching. Possibly trying to justify why their child is into Pokémon porn. I did my homework and helped doing the dishes that day. Can you believe that?

Weird that I've never run into that. Was it a short, normal hentai length, or like a full movie? Did you happen to keep it?

Good question. I don't remember. :/ Sorry >.<

Oh well, too bad. It probably wasn't great, but I always get curious when vintage bootleg hentai gets mentioned.

Got any good ones? ;)
