Top Reasons Why People Are On Pirated Products

I've noticed that there is a dramatic increase on the number of sidewalk vendors offering some illegal copies of the newest blockbuster movies. There are also internet cafes which offer some additional services like installing games of different consoles (e.g. PSP, DS, etc. etc.) which were grabbed from the world wide web, or selling copies of computer software installers and games provided with their corresponding key gens and cracks. So why do people patronize these stuffs???

• Price. Yes, that's the very first reason. People, specially due to global financial crisis, always wanted to be enjoyed and entertained for lower costs. Why would they go to the theaters and buy the originals if they can have these things with some 50-80% offs???
• Internet. With a lot of ways to share files on the web, one can have a DVD-ripped movie, or an ISO (or CSO) game for their PSP, or the sofware installers with cracks; all for just clicking one single word~DOWNLOAD.
• Quality. Pirated ones can have qualities just a bit lower than originals. Take movies for example. You may see shadows of some people passing between the images of the movie and the video device used for recording; but still want to continue watching the flick because you're still able to understand the storyline. On the other hand (the DVD-ripped ones), the quality is the same as the originals.
• Laws Against Illegal Downloads. Most of the countries around the globe don't have some laws against downloading files with copyright infringement. So why be afraid of getting to jail or paying damages if there is no law against what you're doing???
• Additional Income. So this one is for the part of the vendors. As the demand for pirated stuffs continue to rise, more and more people are into selling these kinds of stuffs. Aside from the high demand, pirated things require low production costs (or sometimes, nothing at all), so why miss the opportunity to earn revenue? Though this can be bring additional money, it is still WRONG. So to those people reading this post, like the ones being flash to your TV screens before airing a dangerous stunt: BEWARE: Don't try this blah*blah*blah*. Or you could be in a total mess...

So those are some reasons why businesses of piracy grew (and still growing). Just be reminded that buying those is equivalent to contributing to our economy's downfall.
