Movie pirates in China have been caught selling illegally copied Blu-ray discs by the International Federation Against Copyright Theft. A seized batch included titles such as Kung Fu Panda, Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Wall-E, but the kicker for anyone that bought the fake BDs is that the discs don’t actually feature HD quality video.

“These discs are sheep in wolf’s clothing,” commented Mike Ellis, president and managing director, of the Motion Pictures Association, Asia-Pacific. “Consumers are being cheated twice - they are buying stolen movies, which are being peddled on fake Blu-ray format. The Blu-ray format offers a greatly enhanced viewing experience which consumers are just not going to get from these fake discs.”
