I'm not saying you have an illicit version, but you should know that "I bought my copy off of ebay" might sound funny for some or even regarded as sarcasm. It's not as definitive as, say, "I didn't kill him. I shot him in the head", but "buying on ebay" is far from being a stamp of legitimacy for any product.

Unfortunately true... I'd assume anything sold on ebay is a bootleg until proven innocent.

Point taken. Desdriptions always say it's a factory release. Problem is they probably mean the factory in their own basement.

Yeah, "Factory pressed" is pretty much code for "professionally produced bootleg"... probably a factory in Malaysia or Taiwan...
