MANTECH 11 - A RESPONSE TO PIRACY

I was watching the news in ABS-CBN when I saw this interesting report about piracy. This report is about a girl who was arrested in an airport for an attempt to bring pirated materials abroad. It so happen that there are laws now in airports against the bringing of pirated materials such as dvd's, vcd's, xeroxed copyrighted materials (Yes, its considered piracy), fake gadgets such as polystations(from playstation) etc abroad. These airports are very strict in implementing these rules and whoever caught in this crime will be fined, jailed and even stripped off their visa.

I think that the government are taking small steps in fighting piracy here in the Philippines but who knows, people will still find ways to push thru. This is a good response to promote the government's anti piracy campaign. If they can be successful, I.T. proffesionals, Filmakers and our industry will have the rightful revenue that deserves their work.
