Amazon sells counterfeit products

Recently I bought the classic 1964 film The Naked Kiss off amazon.com, this film was sold by Amazon. The so-called company labeled on the DVD is "Reel Classic Films." There is also a website printed on the DVD case, which when I tried to go to, turned out to be non-existent.

Amazon never once says in the product description that this DVD was not pressed like all standard DVDs are. It's burned on a DVD-R format disc. Not only does this mean the DVD will not play in ALL standard DVD players, but it also means the film was copied to the disc illegally. No company would burn a legal copy of a DVD, they are all pressed.

The picture quality is horrible, the picture is so over-exposed that you can't make out faces or text. Everything looks like a white blur, which can sometimes happen when you counterfeit a movie.

Is this what Amazon has become, a bootlegger?

I have already sent the movie back through the mail, so I couldn't take a picture of it. But this is the image of the cover on Amazon's website, which is slightly different from the actual box cover (there is no visible website, nor is there the little sticker saying it's a DVD-R format disc, these were both visible on the boxcover I received in the mail)
