Even in China it is getting harder to get good videos and many shops closed. Have picked up some fantastic "live music" DVD's there in the past, but gets less and less each visit. |

These people were selling items intended for legitimate sale in poorer markets, where the IP owner sells at a lower price than in UAE. Sure it's no less legal - but it's not quite as dodgy as illegal copies. |

If you shop at Spinneys Umm Sequim - it's that store with the words Disco and the year 2000 in its name.... and to address the downloading question - this is the best proposal going by far.... http://www.mediafuturist.com/2009/10...galize-it.html long read. basically ISPs to pay for free music access by monetizing the service. Consumers not to foot the bill.... |
