A Pirated Life
> Windows XP
> Windows 98
> Various softwares
> Mp3 downloads
> New Tamil movies
> Hollywood movies
> English novels
> Technical books
Wonder what the above list deals with, these are the things I use in my day today life to study, to get entertained etc.,
Everything is pirated, copied, cracked. I know I’m not the only guy who is doing like this in India.
Original winXP costs around 5000/- bucks but the pirated one is available everywhere freely.
If original English novel is available for 250/- in higgin bothams,chennai, the pirated one is for 60/- bucks (90/- in bangalore), just outside higgin bothams in platform ( but you cant find each and every novel in platform except the best selling and the most wanted). Why cant the publishers reduce price and make more profit.
Though some times i feel bad about going pirated, an average middleclass Indian can’t go for more than this. Only few Indian publication’s books are affordable like rupa & co, R.K. Narayans books which costs around 150/-.
These were the thoughts came up in my mind when i was reading a pirated novel in which some 20 pages were missing.(cant get better ).
bye
