I was looking at this auction on Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250223825993&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
I asked him how this could be since only the first 10 seasons have been released by Fox.
Here was his reply
I think he full of shit. I believe many electronics are available in Asian countries earlier since they are mostly made by Asian companies such as Sony.Dear lordhutt,
the answer is simple. the US only hAS 1-10 BuT THE us RELEASE in China are 1-18 they have many sets before we get them here or they are realsed sooner in specail editions in a lets say season 1 Of lst was realsed here first then second then third in china the first was here first but by the time the second was here they waited and realsed a lost season 1-3 all in one before we here in us could get it. thats how tank you and happy bidding
But why would Fox release 8 seasons of the show over seas first? I am thinking these are bootleg tv rips...
Can anyone confirm this is legit?
There was another seller with the same item his reply was a little different:
Dear lordhutt,
TO tell you the truth I dont know I go thru a wholesaler and that is how they are advertised I will have to check into that thank you for bringing that to my attention

Bootleg/pirate copies. No confirmation needed. You said it all yourself.

These are made from tv recordings. I know the person that made the set. As usual, it was made for fellow fans. But some ******* got one, and now he's lying and trying to sell it in an online auction.
Go report it to eBay as a bootleg.Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)

Ebay won't do much about the bootleg dvds. I see some Ebay sellers selling stuff that is copyrighted by other countries such as Japan. Yet Ebay does nothing to these sellers because they're making money as well. It's a double standard.

what more do you need
Even pressed disc's can be "pirated"
Although i have seen american based show's get released oversea's before here, it's one/same season and maybe a couple of months in advanced, not 8 seasons -
Australia and Europe routinely get full runs of shows that USA does not. But The Simpsons is not one of them, and China is pretty much a synonym for bootleg.
