Findlaw offers this feature on DVD piracy in Malaysia, where Mel Gibson's "The Passion of Christ" is officially forbidden to that country's Muslim majority.
The IPKat says this shows that the ideal conditions for DVD piracy have been created: (i) a high level of demand for (ii) a film on current release (iii) which can't actually be seen by most of the people who want to see it, in (iv) a technologically sophisticated jurisdiction (v) where there are channels through which unlawful products can easily and profitably be distributed.

No comments:
All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
