If anyone can answer me the following> how is that possible that big name US and UK retailers (amazon , play.com etc) are selling a pirated DVD (not even bootleg - this is a pirated version of an official copyright protected release) for years, and QP cant do anything about that?

Interesting. I have the same question. I think there are two options:
1 They don't know about the counterfeit release
2 They know about it, but don't want to spend their time and money on the case.
I don't see all those problems...Masterplan put VHS on DVD..like Live in Japan 85(I send you 2 photos of Japan 85)..Why do you call it a pirate release?...for me it's like a bootleg because there isn't any "Live in Rio" DVD around..I guess..anyway I (me like any other one) don't have to wait an official release because I have it yet...
Maybe the quality is the same of VHS...maybe the sound is not 5.1..but I guess that it's a boot..
I'll buy anyway the official QP release..
:-) cheers
A pirate release - a re-release of an officialy release product, this time without the artist's permission.
A bootleg release - a release of a product, which was never released officially and mostly never even intended to be released, usually audience recordings of live concerts. Also without the artist's permission.
This is a DVD transfer from the officially released VHS tape, which means it is a "pirate".

There are several DVD (and VCD) editions of LIVE IN RIO - none official. The Masterplan issue is just the most widely known pirate DVD of this concert. By the way, any unofficial release which copies the content of an official one is by definition a PIRATE release - no matter if it is made into another format.
