iOffer

[UMfan77]

I'm not sure if anyone here is familiar with iOffer, but that website used to have quite a bit of Unsolved Mysteries dvds for sale. Now, all of a sudden, there's nothing. Does anyone know if iOffer banned anything Unsolved Mysteries related from being sold on their website?

with UM being streamed via amazon/netflix, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some muscle to get it removed from ioffer

IOffer cracked down on bootleg DVDs broadly a few months ago.

Shame-I got some old school wrestling sets from them several times.

I should have picked some up, since it seems like we'll get the rest of the 90s WCW Saturday Nights on the Network sometime next century, if we're lucky. And they haven't even started on Main Event or Power Hour.

They have only just started uploading ECW Supercards from the pre PPV days of 1994-1996, unbelievable-they have a goldmine of stuff people want to see & they wonder why the subs are low. Still annoying that with all their billions they refuse to pay for the original entrance music & use that generic rubbish as well.

Yeah, I bought 98-99 Raws from Attitude Era right before WWE Network was announced.

Oh well, at least I got to see my 6th grade self on the Over The Edge PPV again.

I too was quite irritated about the offer crackdown. It isn't just UM, its bootlegs in general. I am a movie collector and I will always buy the 100% legal version of something when it is released, even if I already own a bootleg. But the way I see it is if it is being sold somewhere and whoever owns won't release it, then it should be fair game at that point. I know that isn't the correct legal line of thinking, but to me its more about what is morally right.

Take UM for example. We are all huge fans of that series obviously. Yet the official release is streaming only so far (which I'm fine with) but there are tons of cases that they profiled that still haven't been solved. But for whatever reason, the producers won't release those. I realize in some cases it may be LE not wanting something out there for whatever reason, but given that the segments were already aired there couldn't be that many that LE asked to be withheld still. Same goes for families profiled on the show.

So with all these that could be released and could potentially stir up interest and possibly solve a case, why not release them? And if you don't release them, why stop others from doing so? Money can't be the issue, because it isn't making them a dime if its just sitting on the shelf and not released.

Anyway, I'll get off my soap box now. Just saying I think it sucks and feel your pain

I completely agree. There are a two shows from my youth that were popular network shows at the time. I was hoping they would be released on DVD but no luck. I emailed each production company and was told they will likely never be released. I would gladly pay good money for them. However, if they won’t release it, why should they get to block it too? Seems like there could be a compromise somewhere. Digital is cheap. If they don’t want to mass produce it, at least upload to YouTube or give us another option.
