March 25 raid on Cyber City, the fastest growing IT locator inside Clark ecozone

Bigla na lang silang pumasok...ni hindi nagpakilala at pagkatapos ay pinagsisigawan kami at sinabing 'Tayo! Tayo! Tayo!' Nung nagreklamo kami sa paraan ng pagpapaalis nila, sinabihan pa kami na damputin daw dahil makulit kami. Tama ba yun? Para kaming kriminal na sinasabihan nila.

200 net cafés using pirated software closes
By Lizanilla J. Amarga

CAGAYAN DE ORO -- Some 200 Internet cafés in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan City are temporarily closing down their shops for fear of being raided by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) for using unlicensed computer software, a source from the trade and industry office said.

But NBI Regional Director Virgilio Mendez said there is no truth to such report. He said he already checked with their Manila office and was told that there is no such order to conduct raids on Internet cafés using unlicensed software.

Mendez said he even called on the NBI division concerned with safeguarding intellectual property rights but also received no information of conducting raids.

"There is no such instruction to conduct raids on Internet cafés or schools using unlicensed Microsoft software," he said.

A source from the regional office of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) who requested anonymity said some 200 Internet cafés in the cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan had already temporarily closed shop because of such raid reports.

The source from DTI said Internet groups are asking their office to help asked Microsoft, Inc. to give them a moratorium of three years to purchase the licensed software.

The source said the DTI office is still not sure if they would be amendable to the request of Internet groups.

The source said some Internet café operators are now using the free Linux software rather than get caught with the unlicensed Microsoft software.

Cesilio Salaud, a former owner of an Internet café said they were able to purchase a licensed Microsoft software for P30,000.

He said it would be very difficult to comply with the one license for one or two computers policy for such a price.

Salaud in a text message said for this reason Internet cafés cannot be blamed for not getting the licensed software because it is very expensive and the one or two computer policy for one license is not feasible for the business to prosper.

Salaud said Linux could be used instead of Microsoft but it is "not very user friendly as compared to using Microsoft software."

"But perhaps I am just bias as I am used to using Microsoft," he said.

Salaud and other sources said talks of NBI conducting raids against Internet cafes and even schools using unlicensed Microsoft software products spread late middle of this year.

This when NBI through their website, www.nbi.gov.ph, posted several press releases on their drive against those using pirated software. (Sun.Star Cagayan de Oro/Sunnex)
