If this is a burned copy you should RWAP the DVD.  Below is a picture of what the DVD should look like.  Is the underside of the DVD purple?  Pressed DVDs are not purple in color.

Test your DVD before accusing someone of sending you a burned copy.   Use a program like Nero Disc Speed to see if it's region coded, copywrited, etc.

Per SWAP rules............

The DVD must be original (not a copy.  Burned DVDs or Promotional DVDs of any kind are NOT allowed.

I can't tell you what the artwork should look like.........(it appears to be damaged).

The cover artwork needs to be in good condition without any rips or tears greater than 1/2".

If it does turn out to be a burned copy you can PM the sender and allow them to refund your credit (you are still out the 49 cent transaction fee) and they would still keep a good standing.  OR you RWAP and note the reason to the SWAP team.

Contacting the team first is a good idea.  They will have experience with this title (obviously I don't).

Jazztastic,  your DVD is not a fake. It's the real deal!

This is a joke by Sony because Lisbeth is a hacker expert.

By the way I asked the same question about 2yrs ago.

They fool a lot of people with this gag!

EDITED:  I have the 3 disc Blu-ray combo and the artwork on the back is lightly tacked on the box.  This is so the owner can remove it if they want a clean looking box.  Quite a few DVDs have removable artwork,  be sure you keep it for the UPC.

What Valerie said.

This is not a bootleg,just made to look like one.So you got a good DVD.

Oh and the Swedish  version is so much better than this one.And it has 2 other movies in the set.
