Controversy
In 2005, The Dark Side was accused by American film writer Mirek Lipinski of plagiarising online material and crediting it to editor Allan Bryce. Lipinski subsequently set up a website archiving the evidence he had gathered, together with similar accusations regarding DVD World (formerly Video World), also edited by Bryce.[1] No further incidents have been reported since 2005. Bryce no longer edits DVD World.
