I agree that this is on the up and up. I was in the Philippines in February of 2000 and I remember walking thru a small shop and finding any number of movies on VCD, but the one that caught my eye was Suart Little. It wouldn't ahve been so bad if it wasn't still in theaters in the states when I left.
Aside of that, you could buy just about any PSX game for 40 Piso, or right around a buck a pop at the time.
The RIAA and MPAA need to force their producers and artists into policing their staff, and back off the people buying or downloading the merchandise. The whole Copyright Wars(TM) thing is off target. If the government treated drug dealers like counterfieters and industry movie leakers, the drug dealers would get fat checks and never have to fear prosecution. The industry has to stop the suppliers, and the suppliers are themselves.
