Shocking Videos is a bootlegger; Something Weird Video is not. Shocking Videos sells "The Turkish Wizard of Oz" which is a dupe of a dupe of _Aysecik ve Sihirli Cüceler Rüalar Ülkesinde_ acquired from Uludag Video in Brooklyn, so it's a bootleg of a bootleg with the first bootlegger's watermark (in addition to the obvious loss of a reel of footage).
