It is here (in Philippines). But the government is trying to sweep it out. (Good!) I don't buy pirated products because it's the same as stealing. If it's against the law, then don't do it. Would you like it if, for example, your music was sold to millions? And you get NOTHING from the work you yourself have done?

As taxation rises, and the global economic crisis continues, piracy increases, and people will, unfortunately, make use of it. And with digital media piracy becomes that much easier, and therefore, far more tempting to the general public.

In Australia you can buy pirated cds, dvds and computer games at weekend markets, however these markets are often raided by the police and the goods confiscated.

Poor musicians...Heartless pirates...
