The LA Times has a great little article about Asylum the copycats who steal whatevers popular in theaters and make a DVD come out at the same time. I was thinking of writing an article about Kiara The Brave when I saw its cover on Redbox.
I must have read previous articles about Asylum in Wired and other publications, because I have heard of them. I'd put them on par with the porn industry on making cheap knock-offs, but the really exist to trick people and take away from other peoples ideas in the cheapest way possible.
