webfact Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Government orders crackdown on all copyright infringement activities BANGKOK, 17 February 2017 (NNT) – Deputy Prime Minister for Public Security General Prawit Wongsuwan has ordered all relevant agencies to expediting work to crackdown on all copyright infringement activities in the Kingdom. General Prawit on Thursday chaired a meeting of the subcommittee in charge of cracking down on copyright infringement. At the meeting, General Prawit urged all related offices and agencies, particularly the Ministry of Commerce, to act swiftly to address this issue, as the problem continues to damage both the country’s reputation and business revenue. The Deputy Prime Minister also requested that the general public refrain from buying counterfeit products, as such activities are illegal and hurt the nation significantly. General Prawit added that Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-ocha has instructed police and relevant agencies to step up arrests of those involved in such practices, and to destroy counterfeit products in order to remove them from market circulation. -- nnt 2017-02-17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasset Tak Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Frankly they should start by getting all government offices in order so that they are good examples as even the police are using cracked versions of Windows. Out of over 100 computers in the college only 1 is running genuine Windows... my laptop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaltsc Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 “The Deputy Prime Minister also requested that the general public refrain from buying counterfeit products, as such activities are illegal and hurt the nation significantly.” It must really hurt the nation when all that foreign currency pours into the Thai economy as a result of purchasing those products. Haven't seen much inflation as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen much inflation as a result. If the Govt removed the daft luxury and import taxes then the genuine products would be more affordable for the average Thai. Many only purchase copies as the price of the original is out of their reach. Would also mean that Thais would buy less luxury goods overseas to evade tax and that foreign tourists might consider purchasing luxury goods in Thailand instead of HK, Singapore and Dubai.

JohnnyJazz Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 My main concern is will they go after the torrent sites ? They only hurt marginally the local economy but I'm afraid there could be an international pressure to block them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk Don't be concerned. Just quietly ask your wife how she feels about being thus classified and make sure she is secure at home and can't be seized. That's what all good farangs would do. The marriage registry office is not concerned with the occupations of the couples that appear before them.

What is it about the Chinese subs that you seem to object to? Are they exact copies of American, British or German subs, or are they made in China from Chinese designs? What about genuine I phones and other mainstream electrical items from brand name manufacturers who presently have manufacturing facilities in PRC? Not everything made in PRC is fake.

When it comes to government sponsored comedy, I hope you caught the 1 hour and 17 minute press conference conducted by the alleged leader of the free world, The Donald.

Karry Yokie Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Come on guys, play fair...... We should all pay $30 for a genuine copy of the latest crappywood movie instead of 5 baht for a 'genuine' copy. What would we do without seeing someone get up for a piss halfway through? It'd spoil the fun, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know others who are not so lucky and did already been switched over to the genuine products after being visited and fined. I do talk about profit, non profit organisations, and government (related).
