cost of stealing - how much do you pay for fake?

The growing number of anything fake is the cause of people buying them to find something cheaper. Examples of the most pirated products are cds, vcds and dvds. The genuine items are rather expensive where I come from so people would scan the nearest public market, even malls to get these cheaper finds. Although it's common belief that piracy is stealing movie and music copyrights, not all people really care. It seems that while everyone would want to enjoy that epic movie or their favorite music pumping loud, they're not too keen on spending too much on something that they would eventually get fed up with once new records began appearing in the market.

I think this is because the original products are more expensive and many people don't want to buy the same thing with more money.Pirated products are cheap and it's a good advantage for people who could not afford to buy the original products.I'm not talking in support for piracy,i do feel that it's wrong to do piracy.

Piracy is still out in the streets because many people are buying it. I'm also buying it, when I really have no money to buy the new season of ONE TREE HILL or THE OC. People here in our country have Consumer's loyalty in that kind of product because as you know it is more affordable. Pircay can't be stop if poverty is also growing.
