Pirated DVD Movies
Hi to all! I just want to ask if the pirated DVD movies is allowed here in Qatar?Because I know one video shop producing copy of some DVD movies, they are selling around QR.10 each copy..Im concern citizen only here in doha, I just want to stop this illegal business. Where can i tell this to closed that video shop..Thanks
is it just me who thinks its a bit odd how this guy has just logged on (new to the site) and this is the only topic he is talking about? mmmmmhhh interesting!!
yes they are illegal most in all over the world, beside you cannot stop people from buying them, that's what there money can afford, maybe before people can afford to pay for let say 100 riyals, but now a days as cost of living in every part of the world are very expensive, people are trying to be practical in other ways.
Maybe you can go to police station and complain about this shop. But after that do you think pirated dvd's will not come back? I've been into a shop selling me 10 riyals pirated dvd in secretive way but it is okey, because i want to watch a movie and don't like to watch in the cinema.
It might have a good progress if you complain in the police or what so ever, but they will come back, are you able to come back and let the store closed down again?
Think first before you act. No offense meaning.
and go complain to the production companies and distributors...
yes i am sorry for that, i would sent you the list max today..;)

The best Pirated DVD's come from Johor Baharu - Malaysia. They even produce an identical covers also.
10 - 20 Riyals a copy. Sond System is DTS compared to lousy Dolbi Digital DVD's in Qatar :)
i have over loads and loads of them...
I buy pirates in Bulk :)
yes it is wrong to buy pirated/copy dvd, but who doesn't? beside you only give trouble to the worker who work in the shop. just stop go to the there
I DO WHAT I LIKE, I LIKE WHAT I DO
of either buying a pirate DVD or Downloading a copy, by shutting down one shop you really are not going to achieve anything other than pushing such things further "underground" and I think Qatar has more pressing issues that need to be addressed other than stopping this sort of trade at present. Who's economy does it hurt? not Qatars just the production houses of MGM, Paramount, Sony, Colombia Tri- Star etc etc, like they don't make enough money already.
Funny story on this subject, a couple of years ago I went to a Rob Thomas concert I had already bought his CD, but just prior to his tour of Australia they released a tour cd not much different from the one I had already bought but it contained 4 new tracks, as with most concerts the artiste is there to promote his album, long story short he basically told everyone who had bought the original cd and not the special edition cd don't bother buying it for the new songs just go ahead and download them. Which in this day and age I thought was pretty cool of him. :)
Mind ur own business, now i dare you to say that you never bought anything copied...You did didn't then alas you should be caught too...

if you are using torrents yeah its free but you can't sale that i know..But mass producing duplicate copy its ileegal right? why here in doha bringing like that business? they can do in their own country right? you know how does piracy affect the economy? Its better to closed the shop I dont care to those people working there dont bring here in qatar like that business. yeah its cheap the duplicate movies but what is the benefits in others? that shop was cheating right..
It's not legal but everyone buys them lol, cuz he get's them first.

...to chase all torrents users (like me) who are downloading day and night the latest movies for free!!!
Weird subject as it is your first QL post ...
- No one can make you feel inferior without your consent -
if you get the shop closed down you arnt helping anyone all you are doing is getting the poor guy working in the shop dragged to the police station and chucked out of the country and then he has to go back to his family (probably in India) with no money and he cant get another job here for what five years think about it first if its not hurting anyone let it be!
Labourers dont have bread? Let them eat cake.........well we all know what happened to her dont we! Hey ho, back to the gin.
nice try with the DVD stuff. also give a try to get the modern slavery ( read sponsorship ) outlawed, get the traffic rules right, and get the poor labourers a decent living standards using a bit from the vast oil and gas wealth....whew..u got a load, man...
I soooooo agree with Boogieman. It is offensive to a decent person such as myself to allow the purveyance of copy dvds in this country of hidden culture and understated beauty. Bring back Hanging I say.....hey ho....back to the gin.....
I think you selected a really good name for yourself. Boogieman. Ok you want to close down the cheap DVD shop. What else do you want to do? I recommend you start with the traffic. We need lots of help with all these people who ignore the traffic rules. I think that would be more worthwhile and maybe you can even safe lives! Much better than trying to close down a DVD shop and more rewarding.
