Counterfeit versions of David Swenson's videos have appeared on Ebay. There are at least two parties selling bootleg copies of not only David Swenson's products but also other yoga and fitness videos. The sellers claim to have purchased the videos in a closeout, of which there has never been one. The videos lack the original packaging and are instead sent out in plain plastic shells. There may be genuine auctions from time to time, but if you choose to shop on Ebay for yoga and fitness products please make thorough inquiry to determine whether the products are real or if they are knock-offs.
