good thing for u that ur buying original music cd's for ur "hobby" or watever you call it...what if it's out of necessity, like having a working pc wherein this electronic device is used to communicate through ur loved ones/friends (e-mail, VoIP, chat) and other things that can be done on a pc, and u don't have the resources to buy a genuine os cd, would u hinder urself not to use ur personal computer? and spend ur money/time going to icafe to do whatever u would want to do on ur pc? i don't think so....that's y i said lets be practical...there's a big difference when u need something out of necessity and for ur "hobby"....

hey freako, have you ever heard of this word ahhhh wait ha iisipin ko pa, ahhh yes...........I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-V-E! I didnt collect cds as a hobby, i didnt buy taps just because i can afford it while others dont. Look ass i used my initiative, para mabili kung yung gusto ko. Alam mo "kung gusto mo walang rason pero kung ayaw mo maraming rason"....ponder on that.

then y r der so many bank robbery case nowadays? don't u think it's a mere end-result of poverty?don't be so righteous bro....gud thing for u, u can afford a genuine os or cd/dvd media... isn't copying a genuine os, cd/dvd to another blank media a piracy? then y would the concerned manufacturer/producer would have a disclaimer that it's ok as long as if it's only for personal use only....

so sa ato pa jud diay, mangawat ka para sa imong gusto... what a reason. try kaya ug tigum bai instead of mangawat!

Generally, piracy is defined as stealing and one way or another or for whatever reasons, there's no way it will be right. CD piracy is so rampant now and the mere reason nga to be "practical" is too lame. We would think that buying pirated CDs, DVDs or the mere downloading is ok since everybody is doing it, yet sa tinuoray lang, it's not.

If we think of ourselves alone to be practical, we should start to think about those people who made such softwares. Is it easy to make one? Di man pud siguro, that's why it's not sold cheap. And one more thing, panginabuhi pud na nila. They studied and learned so much for that and what do we do? Copy their work and sell it cheap without their consent? Isn't it stealing?

Copyright infringement of softwares refers to several practices done without the the permission of the copyright holder.

1.) Creating a copy and/or selling it.
2.) Creating a copy and giving it to someone else.
3.) Creating a copy to serve as a back-up.
4.) Renting the original software.
5.) Reselling the original software.
6.) Bulletin Board Sharing/Internet Piracy -- copyrighted materials on bulletin boards or the internet for users to download.

i'm not a freako..maybe u r!

FYI...I don't buy pirated CD/DVD media..only the OS since it's way too expensive to spend 7,500-8T for a genuine os copy...if u'll be altering ur current hardware specs, u would have alot of problems since an OEM OS CD from Microsoft can detect those type of changes and u have to contact them...so y pay for the long distance call fee.....

As long as computers exist, piracy will always be there. People are getting more and more literate regarding computers.

Kung Philippines lang ang basehanan, strict implementation is needed. Unsaon ta man ning anti-piracy board nga kutob ra man pud publicity. Where's the raid lately? Wala. City Halls even give permits to store owners who sell pirated CDs and DVDs. Diri sa Cebu, talamak kaayo diha atbang sa Colonade yet wa gyu'y nakaraid diha?

I hope someone from the City government give a good reason for this. Maski unsaon ug bali bali, piracy will always be piracy and it will never be right.
