I was in Bosnia and outside our gates (Camp BUTMIR), are stores that sell music. Now, many of this music was local Bosnia, Croatian type music (which I highly enjoyed and purchased), however, there where many “compilation” type disks, “concert” disks, of my favorite music, never before seen in the US (which I purhcased).

Much of this music was advertised as “domestic” (domestic to Bosnia) and the jewel boxes contain coverart that is outstanding when compared to a US jewel-case CD, meaning it looked exactly like normal cd’s as sold in the United States.

The only way to ensure that US military personnel do not purchase this music is the draconian style of all or none. I can tell you that, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference, the artwork, jewel case is great, even pre-wrapped in shrink wrap !! So, unfortunately, the only way to STOP it would be to ensure and task all the gate guards to search every single person coming in to the base, and every CD that a person has on them, would have to be confiscated.

BTW, you’ll see this type of “music pirate” report aka military is supporting music pirating in Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Bosnia, and well basically any/all military bases overseas. This type of story is a “gotcha” story which is designed to screw the military and make us all look bad in an overseas “light”.

Because they can’t go after them and being angry little bastards they go after what they could.
The weak, the disabled and the poor and the least likely to know how to defend themselves.

YUP they are assholes, pure and simple, and if it were about money they’d hire those mercenaries in iraq and invade those countries.
HA can’t do that either can YA!!!

Notice who has the fastest internet on earth at the cheapest prices lately???

Again, another story of, ‘lets not evolve our business model to supplant the file-sharing community with a quality product at a quality price’, but instead, ‘we’ll show them, we will take our ball and go home!’.

And Dreddsnik is right, now the best and only place to find new movies in South Korea is on a P2P, way to go MPAA.

Where do you think those kiosks got the movies to begin with? Will this hurt their ’supply’.

Not even a noticeable smidgen.

So their solution is to not even TRY to sell it, instead, leaving the ONLY way to get it
through the internet ??

This is biggest case yet of cutting off the nose to spite the face I have seen to date.

They have proven once and for all that the RIAA is in fact the stupidest bunch of
dumass lawyers in existence.

I am CERTAIN that no other factors could be affecting sales in Korea.

Pansies.

Lying pansies.
