English Ex-pat Caught Selling Copy Dvd Movies

The two crimes he was guilty of were (are?) arrogance and greed. But mostly arrogance

Truth be told, there are more non Thais working "off da books" in Thailand than people will admit to, but at least they have the good sense to keep their heads down blow the parrapet, and not flaunt the fact.

Is so funny, at every "Tarat Nat" (Soi marked), locals selling 1000's of CD's and DVD, even on the beachroad, in the front of the cops, everywhere. I guess they must all real CDs (no copies) for 100 Baht only.

BTW, the boring Sophon cable TV, which plays every week the same movies, for years and again and again (of corse they are no copies they broadcasting).

Selling Copy DVD is illegal in Thailand... and most of us here including me are part of the problem by buying them. However the police are even guiltier by selectively enforcing the law - which can be very confusing. For example it is obvious that most of the DVD shop at Tuckom are selling copy DVDs out in the open why not start with them? All you have to do is go to the beach (Pattaya or Jomtien) not only you will see many copy DVD being sold there you'll see underage kids selling pornos?? Where are the police???

If they would be no copie DVD,s and CD,s, where can you buy the real one? There would be no foreignmusic or movies in Pattaya and everyone have to listen "Morlam" or "Luk Tum" Music and watching the boring sophon cable (ever week the same movies for years)

Anotherthing. How legal is to downloading movies or news over the internet? For example i listen to live american radiostations over the net and sometime i record some songs, the ones i like. Songs you couldn't buy here anywhere.
