Piracy here in bangy
The piracy situation here in Bangalore actually makes me laugh.
99% of software/movies/music is pirated, excluding free and OEM stuff ofcourse. Just go to one of the local VCD-walas and you'll be blasted by a ton of original look-alike DVDs, CDs, etc.
"Ey! Iddu original DVD enappa?"[Is this an original DVD?]
"Howdu saar. Original. Illi hakilwa?"["Yes Sir. It is an Original. It says so here"]
Ofcourse, no original DVD says it's an original and has a footnote "Made by the EL1M1NT0RZ".
Worse, most people don't really care if it's original, fake, or pirated as long as it's cheap and decent quality. People aren't concerned about loss to the real creators and legal problems(which you can do away with a couple of hundreds anyway).
Oh well.

It is so sad that we have no concept of quality in India. Seriously.
Yea, things are changing to slowly to keep up with the rest of the world too...
