It's easy to dismiss bootleggers as dumbasses with no buisness sense just because they're breaking the law - they ain't stupid, they fool a hell of a lot of people and make loads of money doing so.

That's true kupo what you said. Of course, if there's English dialogue on the bootleg versions, then a lot of consumers would get that even if they know it's a bootleg...only because it's cheaper (at times). And yes, bootleggers aren't stupid...Asian countries have been doing this since the beginning of time and it's not gonna go away any time soon.
