Piracy crackdown means the end for once thriving Aranyaprathet market

[Cadbury]

Well that's good news for PM Prayut. He will be able to brag about that to President Trump on his upcoming visit to the US when they discus copyright infringement. Doesn't matter a rat's that every other market in Thailand is doing the same thing that Rong Klua market isn't doing anymore.

In this case they are stopping criminal activities and is one of the rare occasions I support their actions. 

 

And who was being harmed by these "criminal activities"? Very few people shopping at the market could have afforded the real products.

Those who developed, marketed and sell the product. 

 

Piracy is theft.

No it isn't. Piracy is copyright infringement. Or attacking and robbing ships at sea.

The traders are blaming the military and police for stripping the market of pirated goods

illustrates the general level of appreciation here for law and order; in the cases where law IS enforced here, then the law-breakers complain

Both involve theft. 

 

Both are forms of theft. 

 

Both are theft. 

 

You do realise that robbery and theft are the same thing?
