What i want to refer to here is that is a very serious offence to watch the films after buying pirated cd/dvds . But what iam not able to clear out is that since they are actually available a such an ease and in fact they are available just after the release of the film . so one can enjoy watching them at home along with others and that too just after the film release (compromising the quality).

yeah, they say that buying pirated cd's and dvd's is considered stealing. I don't know...but here in the Philippines, original dvd's are SOOOOOO expensive. For me, I would consider buying local cd's or dvd's wrong. Like buying pirated local cd's, like you know, local bands music and stuff like that. It will really affect them, cause their major earnings would be here in our country. Unlike those foreign bands...I mean, they still have a lot of sources. Get what I'm saying here? hehe..but anyway, yeah, buying pirated cd's still considered stealing no matter how you reason out for it. lol.

i too consider the same when the same stuff is available for a cheap price one will surely opt for it. if i do not buy fake ones and my friends do buy it then i would actually be regarded as loser among them.

It is considered a serious offense because we are being warned not to patronize these illegal movies by media boards. It is tantamount to stealing. Even if it easily available, you must not buy one. You don't have to jump of a cliff because some do, use your wise judgment. :)
