I was wondering how much longer this shop could remain open. I've been going there for years to buy DVDs, as slowly all the other pirate stores have been closed down. It's incredible to think that a busy shop on a busy street that everyone in Doha knows sells pirate DVDs could get away with it for so many years. Looks like I'll need to find a new shop. And as for your question Brit - there are a lot of stupid people out there who think they can come to Qatar on their "Freelance" (lol) visas and then find a job and everything will be okay, because Qatar is the richest country in the world (lol). Sadly it almost never works out that way.
