DVDs and CDs are very common if you know where to look, who to ask.

Video games, not so much.

No sale in stores in america .
The laws are reinforced (most of the time), and the artists must eat food too .
Soon the police will close stores that sells bootleg cds in brasil , it is a matter of time and because of the global economy , microsoft or music industry will hire detectives to make those stores closed in the futur .

Up here in Canada, Toronto anyway and in Chinese stores, there's more of a chance of finding a bootleg than a real CD (games too)

**40sondacurb** · 10-29-2005, 11:02 PM

Yeah, I've seen a few stores renting the bootlegs.

**RavenMind** · 10-29-2005, 11:24 PM

Actually there are quite a few places in town that sell pirated CD's/DVD's. These are the kind of places that 'mainstream' society usually shy away from though, and are frequented by people of.. lower persuasion. Cops usually don't do much about them because the laws they are violating are Federal, and the Feds won't let us enforce them. (Kind of how ICE told local departments not to even ask a person about their immigration status unless it directly effects their local investigation.) Best they can do is make a referral to the appropriate Federal agency, who will then probably drop it.

I resent that!

You can't even tell it's fake unless you look at the disk, other than they're pretty goo replicas.

**RavenMind** · 10-30-2005, 12:30 AM

These kind of places don't bother with trying to make them look real. I'm talking cardboard boxes & jewel cases.

bold black text on a plain white label.

like that "BEER" brand of beer.

**Fox** · 10-30-2005, 08:46 PM

BEER brand beer is my favorite.
