CD, VCD, at DVD sa LRT/MRT

**paltik** · February 8th, 2005 05:03 PM

parang hindi na ata makatuwiran ang plano nato ng VRB ah..

nakuha ko lang to sa in-email sakin:

Importance: High

dont bring any pirated vcd, copy cd, data cd when you plan to ride the LRT
or MRT. they are confiscating cd's unlabled and unliscensed cds. They dont
care if it is a data disk for your work or files for school.. pls pass this
info to avoid the situation and if ever they tried to confiscate your data
cd for work/school purposes, just prepare an explanation for the importance
of your data cd.

they dont even know how to identify a pirated cd/vcd or personal data cd
files. if you have CD or DVD files, it's best not to ride the MRT/LRT. VRB
has a operation in confiscating pirated media effective today. pls pass
this message to warn all of our E-media data users. thanks

In-email din yan sa office namin. Parang ang OA naman yata, pati data discs kukunin. Swerte mo na lang kung me dala kang laptop para pwede mong ipakita na hindi pirated VCD/DVD yung dala mo. Kunsabagay, pati software eh napipirata na ngayon....

mukha nga.

AFAIK, the OMB / VRB cannot confiscate pirated stuff once it is already bought by a consumer. they can only confiscate it off the merchants / makers.

I heard over the afternoon radio that they will begin confiscating pirated CD/VCD/DVD from those who buy them, they said that they can charge you under the anti-fencing law. I think the BSA(Business Software Association) also used this law with companies using pirated computer software. I heard Karen Davilla arguing that the drive is anti-poor blah blah...

i can understand "labeled" pirated CDs. pero kung pati CDRs kukunin nila, kalokohan na yan. kung labeled nga may excuse pa din some pirated disks almost look like the original. paano kung yung disk lang ang dala mo at di kasama yung case. alam ba ng mga enforcers mag-distinguish kung ano ang fake at original.

malabo yan drive na yan if it is real.
