If this is a bootleg, it by far the best I've ever seen.  It has extremly complex packaging for a bootleg.  The case is inclosed in a high quality full color printed box with a thick full color fitted booklet. The type overall is consistant and flawless.  All the images on the box, insert, and CD are sharp and clear.  However, mine does not have the the green "stamp" in the lower right hand corner of the cover like the one shown on ebay.  Maybe I have the real one.

Subject: [Orb] More Ayumi trivia

I recently received a 4-CD set that purports to be the "Excerpts From
Ayu-mi-x III" set, however, I'm pretty sure it is a bootleg, because:

1) It crunches the 6-CD set to 4 CDs
2) It is from "Ho Son" rather than Avex
3) It is from Taiwan
4) Production standards aren't quite up to the Ayumi stuff I have from
Japan

You can find a close-up of it here (feel free to bid; I have mine
already, and it's cheap, even if it's a bootleg (I've seen the complete
6-CD set go for upwards of $150)):

Anyone who knows better than I do care to opine, confirm, or deny that
this is a bootleg?
