Tales from the Bootleg Boutique #1

Nowadays, shops selling pirated software are few and far between. This is due to the government's effectiveness in clamping down piracy. However, ever so once in awhile a software bootleg boutique will unexpectedly turn up in somewhere in the heartlands. It's not hard to miss as they tend to stick out like sore thumbs...

A few months ago I chanced across one on my way home from work and decided to have a look. It was then that I overheard a father telling his daughter:

"Girl, you see this CD? Got 100 over songs, better than the one you bought from the music shop. So cheap somemore. Next time must buy like this..."

Hwah! Uncle teaching his little girl economics. If there ever was an award for promoting MP3 piracy, I think he'll win it hands down for passing on such knowledge to his children...
