just curious - if you like some posters and original piece is expensive.
Do you buy illegal reprints from thieves like moviegoods.com or moviepostershop.com ? same question in other way - you like mercedes cars and you can't afford it - do you buy a stolen one from thieves?

any thoughts?

I like Mercedes, I can't afford one, and I have Mercedes pictures.

It's not the same, reprints are illegal, but it's not the same issue than stealing the original. Try it, sell a reprint and then go to police. After that, go to a movie poster museum and steal the same poster. Then go to police.

And answering more closely your question, no, I don't buy reprints, not at those sites, and not at any other site.
