Fritz pirated cds in Indian cities.

Nehru place New Delhi

Gaffaar Market New Delhi

Red Fort Lajpat Rai electronics market New Delhi.

Please punish these guys who sell these stuffs.

OK, I'll jump right on it!

...Um, how much is a plane ticket to New Delhi?

Kind of silly to pirate an engine that is worse than the free ones available for download ;)...

        We caught THIS cheater earlier this mourning!                                                                     

90% of my chess software/books/etc is pirated.

:)

Of course, the places mentioned in the article are famous software piracy centres but I don't think they will be making pirated chess software programmes since the market is limited for them.  

thats true

Just torrent it if you want it so badly.

    I think your a little late to the party. This guy hacked about $100 million in software, 2 years ago.                                                                                        http://www.geek.com/news/chinese-hacker-guilty-of-100-million-software-piracy-1535381/                                                                                                   

Whoa

  We lost the entire music industry to mp3's and NOW you want to complain about piracy? 

huh?

As far as I know people are still making music and were making music long before a "music industry" existed.  In the long history of humanity a "music industry" is just a blip and a artificial construct.  Free the music!

I really want to question this entire piracy is losing revenue complaints. How much impact does it really have on the revenue lost ? Many of this "downloaders" are kids who Wouldn't be able to pay anyway. Also another factor, how many who download this material actually read it ? Very few IMO, the Internet has lead to a kind of "information overload"

During the good old days, one would buy a single book and read it properly. Nowadays people download 20 books and read 20 pages. I suspect these books serve as "advertising" for the writer. If you want to really study the book, eventually you have to buy it in physical form to study it..

The only industry which seems to be genuinely impacted with this piracy menace seems to be the music industry.

         I think the gist of the thread is that creative people should be properly compensated for their property, weather it be music or movies or chess books, or....    http://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-equipment/copyright-war-over-duchamp-chess-set?lc=1#last_comment

nice

Not chess,Ronald. But I know of a group which "seeds" their own course material on file sharing sites as a form of marketing and then upsells personalized services. Just one approach to deal with this piracy menace.
