I have MVP at Hollywood video and one of the free movies I got "Fear of the dark" had a message, screener copy only, pop up every 10 minutes or so. It seems rather shady to be renting screeners. Anyone know if its legal or not?

my guess is not legal. These are supposed to be for one person only I think, and if you rented it....well something's definitely off here...

They are lucky that I am not willing to call up the movie Nazis(MPAA). I guess I will just have to ask for a free rental or 2 for me bringing this to their attention.

I would bring it up to the management. Possibly some one else switched copies when they rented it before you.

definitely illegal, hope you get like 10 free rentals for bringing this up, a simple call to the "movie nazis" as you stated might offer you better leverage to get more from Hollywood video :)
i saw this club that i visted last year and they were showing a Screener of LOTR, before it even came out in the theaters...i was like, uhhh...how they do that and they braggin to everyone they got it early? big no no, i didn't call the movie nazis either, but i just found it amusing while everyone was drinking, i was watching the movie~ hehe. :)
