The pending law suits are against three companies and MPA has already tried to settle with the companies, but according to its spokesman, settlement in these cases is very unlikely to happen.

HAHA, ah well, their own fault what can i say?? ;-)
For every pirate that goes down, ten more pops up! I come from HK, and like I said, piracy is too tough even for the cops to handle! I haven't bought any copies though... Honest!
Right they are going to stop counterfeiting! $30,000 is like 8 cents in that market today. I don't buy counterfeit, but I doubt that they can stop it. Regards to All! Rodgers
Hey, I'm from HK as well and from the current situation over there, there are no PRACTICAL reasons for a chinese person to buy original software/movie/games. Plus, probably many Chinese people don't even know piracy is illegal. The difference is just so steep! ($50 USD to $1 USD) Not endorsing piracy in any way... just an input.
Yeah, i've known people to go out there once a year just to buy a lot of pirated software. i dont support it, but if software prices weren't so high, there wouldnt be as big a problem. Think of the money they would make if they halved the price of their software.
The software industry i really really support, the amount of work that goes into software is unreal and where would we be without it?? Buy the software so that it can continue to be made!
I think you misunderstood me. I was saying that i dont support people who go out to china and buy the pirated software. I DO support the software industry and do buy/donate often, but i would like to see prices lowered a bit. Fr example DVD X Copy Xpress? come on guys, lower it a bit. Chris
Ah right sorry. *bang* Oops just banged my massive head off the monitor. I thought it was directed at me. lol
lol nope, anyone reading, just giving my opinion!
Well, i traveled in Asia country, especially in Hong Kong area and Japan. The PIRATES about movies,music and others media files are all over asian countries.They will buy for very cheap. They dont care.
