Blogger Selling Pirated Software, DVD Openly In Her Blog
Jul 26, 2008 Blogosphere, Gossips, Singapore, Stupid Stuffs
I chanced upon a blog which belong to a local girl in Singapore. The contents is OK, but what interested me is this
Wow, she is brave! She left her personal particular on her personal blog, and she is selling pirated software and DVD now! Pirated Microsoft Office 2007 for $10? Movie DVDs for $3? I don’t condemn people doing bad things. But I will laugh at people doing bad things in a stupid way.
And you see what’s there as well? Nuffnang’s advertisement! I didn’t see advertisement from any other Nuffnang’s local rivals, so I guess she could be a Nuffnang Glitteratti member? I wonder does Nuffnang has any code of conduct for their member, publisher to follow? If I am Nuffnang, for sure I don’t want my publisher to be involved in any illegal activities, like selling pirated software, DVD.
I am not going to link to that blog. Just in case you want to purchase from her, do a search for “starrydreamland” in Google.

Pirated Software Shop Hired Underaged Teens to Man Shop
Jul 4, 2008 Ranting, Singapore, Terrible Stuffs
I was on my way to a food court besides Tampines Regional Library when I saw that shop, that pirated software shop. It is not unusual in that place to see pirated software shops. Every few months, we will see a pirated software shop pops out from no where. It may be there for few weeks, or months. There was one shop I saw there lasted for half a year. People around there are used to such shop, though it is illegal.
After my dinner, I popped by that shop to take a look. Like most of the pirated software shops, most of the products sold there are pirated PC, PSP games. There are pirated application software as well, but not as many.
Then I saw 3 teens sitting at the counter (basically it is just the place they put a table with cash register). To be exact, 2 teens, aged about 15 at most or less, and 1 kid aged 8 or 9 years old.
This is bad, really bad. Using under aged teens to man the shop? I really look down on whoever behind managing that shop. They are just some boh ji coward!
Shall I lodge a police report? What would happen if the teens are snatched by police?
