Effort to clamp down on illegal software launched


Recommended Posts

Posted

copy software used to be my second favorite reason to visit thailand.   it's no longer necessary, i get adobe cc , which suits all my photography needs, for 10 dollars a month.  and i have all the OS i need.  i remember one time in bkk, i was looking for a copy of photoshop, i forget which version.  i saw an "official" copy in a supposedly "official" store for , as i remember, about 600 dollars.  i found it at pantip for 150 baht. less than a mile from the official store.

That happened to me the last time I bought a PC 

My computer is over 10 years old, when I bought it it had windows 7 installed, I asked if it was genuine and received the reply, "we don't do that sort of thing" as if it was reprehensible.

To get windows 10 I've been told it shouldn't be installed on my computer which is running on windows 7 I will have to buy a new computer.

This will put the country definitely into recession 

Imagine the huge cost involved to do this 

So much for the government's current budget coming up

That's not true. Microsoft doesn't punish users since they assume they have been mislead. You could buy Windows10 and install it without issue or get it for free via legal or illegal means that we can't discuss.

This campaign targets 10,000 companies across Thailand that are thought to be using illegal software. This includes corporations in a variety of business sectors, such as manufacturing, construction, banking and finance, engineering, architecture, media, design, IT and healthcare.

This campaign will shut down Thailand.  I'll bet Immigration departments are using pirated software judging from the number of ex-pats who can't do 90 day reports & TM 28s & TM 30s.
