So you say. Do you run things?
I have been assured by a local lawyer that under our new laws, you can go to
jail for 4 or 5 years for simple possession of a knock off cd or dvd disk.
One which you bought in good faith from a still operating store in your city.
Oh and plus a fine of more than $20,000 dollars for possession of that one
copy. (You being someone living in the country where I do.)
Don't ask me to trust to such common sense theories holding. I see common
sense being thrown out of the window more and more every day.
all the best,
