Evanier: Motor City Bootleg Madness
The writer Mark Evanier writes on his blog that friends of his report police crackkdowns on bootleg video sales at this year's Motor City Comic Con, held over the weekend. The MCCC is an older, you could say more traditional comics and showbiz-related comic book convention, with a lot of media crossover (this year they celebrated the 1960s Batman television show). As Evanier points out, bootleg video sales have long been part of the convention landscape, and are pretty easy to find via sales on Ebay.
