Thai Govt To Get Tough On Piracy, Ip Violation

[Garry9999]

I seem to remember around a month ago some raids on Pirate vendors at Patpong and the Thai Government talking tough about doing something about IP priracy.

"The government is planning to introduce tough penalties to counter piracy and infringement of intellectual property rights." THE NATION 26 May.

Well just went to MBK-Siam & Panthip, looks like business has usual to me.

Want to buy a counterfeit iPhone anyone?

Usual BS, they have to be seen to be doing something about it, so there are a few high profile raids, and then it's business as normal.

It's a way to tax tourists.
