Genuine and piracy,which one do you choose?

Pirated products are not so easy to come by here. I do not think I would buy them either. I once bought a tape that was not genuine - we were on holiday in another country. I did not know it was not genuine until after the purchase. I will always prefere the genuine products, as i think the ones that have invented or produced a product deserves to get paid for it - not people that copy them
