All_Smiles Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Hey all, I have a question, I ordered the TBWKTM CD on Amazon and a CD came, which I think is not an original CD. Which seriously pisses me off, because I think it's disrespectful for the artist, the industry, and for the customer in the end. Anway, I was wondering, if any of you online have details on the CD, the thing that struck me as being odd most is, that the CD looks very 'dull', you know, not Mikaish, greyish in print, there ist a magic numbers thing inside, which is also like a fake and the CD holder thing (see through plastic), looks like it's been attached to the back of the CD with hot glue or something similar. Not the way CD's usually come. Can anyone come back to me with info? I want the original and I'm annoyed... Thanks! All_smiles

All_smiles sounds like a fake to me too...have you bought it as second hand item? you can get the magic points going to your magic point area in Mikasounds and validating the CD directly from your PC, just follow the instruction on the site this is the ultimate way to check whether it's original or not
basicamenteyo Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 woow legal issues..... i can´t help you... perhaps you need to talk to any mod perhaps... or dcdeb... i don´t know.....
All_Smiles Posted September 17, 2010 Author Posted September 17, 2010 Hey, thanks for the fast reply... Yeah, got it as a second hand item, I usually don't do that, but I was getting books on amazon and that stupid reccomended thingwing came up with Mika in it... Anyhoo, good idea with the mika points thing... And can you tell me, if yours has the image on the CD covering the whole disk? That's the second thing that seemed odd, that the image on the disk goes until the part where the silver on the other side stops, has a thin line, and then starts again... But, I'll go check the Magic numbers thing! Thanks! All_smiles
All_Smiles Posted September 17, 2010 Author Posted September 17, 2010 and yeah, I second that wooowww.. some people are really shameless...
guylainem123 Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 did the points work? can you take a picture of your cd/package so we can understand better?
All_Smiles Posted September 17, 2010 Author Posted September 17, 2010 Okay, here we go. I've marked the areas with black pen in photoshop, so you'll know what I mean... Kind of difficult to explan And by the way, the black line on the live CD is not photoshop, that's actually the way the CD looks... Hope the pics work.

All_Smiles Posted September 17, 2010 Author Posted September 17, 2010 that's exactly what I thought... any other feedback?
guylainem123 Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 that's exactly what I thought... any other feedback? i'll have to check it against my cd when i get home
basicamenteyo Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 i'll have to check it against my cd when i get home but also it´s possible that each country has their own kind of impression on the cd..... who knows? but... well... it´s odd anyway...
All_Smiles Posted September 18, 2010 Author Posted September 18, 2010 Hmm... Does anybody have the Malaysia special edition? Because it says printed and manufactured in Malaysia and there is a special Malaysia ed. Last hope, I guess, but I have the stupid feeling it's a fake too. MIka numbers didn't work, by the way...
Mary Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 I'll post pics of mine later. But from your pics it looks like a fake, yes.
Blue Sky Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 It is possible that this is how the Malaysian edition looks. Check with nikjass if she has a Malaysian edition, or her friends.
All_Smiles Posted September 19, 2010 Author Posted September 19, 2010 Okay, so I went to my local CD person, where I usually get CDs from (and from now on, will again ) and he sort of grunted when he saw the CD and was like: "Mh, bad copy..." I've also contacted Nikjass, and unless it is the Malaysian Ed, which I don't think because it doesn't have the bonus track, then it's a fake. Thank you for helping me out!
Mary Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 Sorry to take so long (RL stuff got in the way). I see you already got some answers, but still, here are the pics i took of my album: The Cd's (a bit different from yours): And the case (the little transparent circle you see is the glue):
