| Anfebious said: It's not really astounding, you just happen to live in a country where piracy is frowned upon (and actually takes measures against it). Here in Argentina, we pirate so hard that even teachers use pirate movies to teach kids. It's normal stuff over here (almost too normal). We are so fucking hardcore. |
In Croatia everybody pirates everything. But the industry adapted: Instead of hunting down individuals for a few movies or games (which is pointless anyway) the Government and the copyright holders reached an agreement by which downloading content is not persecuted (not legal either), and in return they get a small percentage of sales of every recordable media (CD, DVD, harddrives, USB sticks etc...). Everybody wins in a way, without expensive litigation.
