There’s this seller on Yahoo Auctions who’s selling pirated game cds. Some of his products(on sale now and sold in the past) are some of the games from eh, Peachprincess.com like Chain, Casual romance club, etc. :evil: I knew there was something very wrong with the prices… and if I were you guys, I’d unleash the Singapore police on him and put this guy in jail. He’s certainly earned quite a bundle from selling all those goods. :twisted:
And I highly advise some form of really firm action. 'Cos I suspect he’d simply say “yes, i won’t do it again” but open shop elsewhere again. And since, it’s actually illegal to distribute pornographic materials in Singapore…
Well, I can understand why some people torrent their stuff. Some countries/states have a huge stigma against anime/manga and it’s like almost illegal to bring the stuff in.
BTW, Went here: http://www.pcrdist.com
Looked at Yume Miru and saw it was sold for $19.95 O.O
I was like “Huh? SO much cheaper, and even listed J-List as a seller…”
Decided to order, until…
Total Cost: $1,995.00 for min. x100 copies <<<<<<WTH!?!?
They ARE wholesale, dear. And that’s the standard way of doing things unless well… we want all the retailers and developing/publishing companies to go out of business should they all increase their prices.
I’ve sent to Shingo two links from a pirate site that keeps “releasing” free Peapri games since last year :roll: .
But I’ve a doubt: when Peapri is informed about pirate resellers and/or sites, what happens next?
You simply intimidate the pirates (does it really work?) or you even call the police to help in their “removal”?
Eh well… maybe they could let us know how it goes. It’s a bit demotivating to not know whether your efforts paid off or if you could’ve done some more.
Well its things like this that i dislike. This is because they are hindering the company from gaining a profit and in the process, interfering with the production of new eroges. Thats a major no-no in my book. :x We want hentertainment cheap but we would rather have the legit copy rather than some fake generation copy.
Wait, you’re one of those folks who run Jlist! I’d heard about your site for years but never bought anything until recently. :oops:
