i am gpoing ot be disapprovign about counterifeit dvds

[TheHighwayCod]

adn you lot letting your kdis watch them
adn them thinkign its ok
and the links to SERIOUS organised crime

sextrafficking
durg running
that these counterfieters have

Not all pirated DVDs originate from organised crime sources.

yes so take yer selazy dvds elsewhere

ata any rate it is THEFT

I could not agree more.

I'm totally with you, I used to work sort of in the film industry and would never buy a pirate film.

adn the messages ti gives to your kdis is also bad
t hey go into school tell their teacher and their maets

no
no
no

and they are rubbish why waste the experience of watching a brilliant dvd on our new and wonderful tv with a copy that is trashy quality

they seem the norm in hong kong and they have chinese subtitles on as well

I agree Cod.

While the multi million dollar film studios make enough profit yada yada.. I think counterfeiting (and supporting it by buying/watching the DVDs) is morally wrong.

yes bit it hinkt he death penalty si the norm in HOng kong too

arf

SO TAKE YER DVDS OFF MUMSNET

i don't buy them but tbh, I couldn't really give a fig if others do. It's not something I can get worked up about

and also, the quality of these counterfeits is shite.

but you woudl NDp if one of yours sons was involoved in drug takin gfrom a dealer who also made money to buy drugs this way
tis not a vicitmless crime

it's how we end up with them ds gets them and it is very annoying

Maybe I would, but you could say that about lots of things.

is this aimed at me cod?!

we do have a few copies - not many. DH picked some up in Iraq when he was on tour, and his dad gave him a copy of Ice Age 2. Other than that I get them on Amazon or Play.com because they are cheap as chips!

no i t wasnt jarm!!! hahaha youve fessed up

I was wondering about this just now on another thread.

I agree - sends very bad message to children IMO.
jessicaandrebeccasmummy - I think it's a different thread that has made Cod start this.

in addition to human trafficking and drug trafficking, terrorist organisations also trade in counterfeit - DVDs and goods like clothing and handbags - to fund their activities.

oops

...sorry, didn't see this one till now

and there is no treatinvolved in going and seeing them either cos you've already seen the rubbish version

apart from the crime conmsequences

I used to ask ds if he wanted to see a new film and he would already have seen it atschool on a laptop

and also it gets your kid known to the teacher as the one wiht ropey parents

My parents do this all the time. They offer tl lend them to us but we won't take them. Mainly cos the quality is sh!t, but I don't agree with pirate dvds anyway. We told them taht the copies won't play on our machine.
"Oh well, we'll buy you a better one for Xmas that will play them". No mum, it's because ours IS a good make dvd that they won't play.
It really annoys me that our local flea market on a Sunday is rows & rows of stalls selling counterfeit dvds, cds, pc programmes & games, cigarettes, tobacco etc and NOTHING is done about it - either by the market authority or the police (who are in a station about 200 yards away)

your PARENTS????
they are criminals?
