software-piracyA couple of weeks ago, a 28 year old Pandacan resident – Marvin Earl Natividad – was caught in a buy-bust operation after allegedly selling fake computer software through “TipidPC” website, which offered supposedly authentic software.

Kelan naman kaya mauubos ang mga pirata sa Quiapo? :lol:

Seller of fake software nabbed in buy-bust operation

A man allegedly selling pirated computer software was arrested in an entrapment operation last July 9, Mandaluyong police said Wednesday.

Police identified the suspect as Marvin Earl Natividad, 28, of Pandacan, Manila, who was arrested in a buy-bust operation with the help of Arjay Tabayag, 23, of Pasay City.

Tabayag earlier complained to police that he bought fake computer software from an Internet site called “Tipid PC” which offered supposedly authentic software.

Tabayag said that through the Tipid PC website, he contracted to buy five pieces of Microsoft Windows XP Professional CDs for P11,000.

He said he met an unidentified representative of the website at the MRT Shaw Boulevard Station on June 28, 2009, who turned over the software after receiving payment.

Police said Tabayag later discovered the software did not work and contacted the website to complain but got no response.

A week later, Tabayag got a text message from someone claiming to represent the website who offered to sell him the same software at the same site.

    kung mamumulat lang tayo na hindi lang microsoft ang pwede gamitin, at pahahalagahan ang karapatan ng publiko at mga software companies, wala sanang mga ganitong pangyayari na kailangan pa iparata ang mga legal na software. marami tayong option, LINUX at iba pang mga bagong operating system.  sana maisulong na ang free/open source software (FOSS)  bill sa kongreso, ito po ang batas na magpapalaganap ng FOSS sa mga pampublikong mga opisina, at eskwelahan. bukod sa malaking savings para sa publiko, mapapalaganap pa nito ang kaalaman sa kompyuter at maisasalegal ang mga software sa mga pampublikong opisina at eskwela. maimumulat nito ang paggamit ng legal na software at mapapangalagaan ang mga karapatan ng publiko maging ng mga software companies.

    Nag worry lang ako…..,we are not  rich country….we are the 3rd world country…..Kung ikaw,bibili ng original ng software magkano? kung bibili ka ng pirated na cd software magkano rin….?  Di ba ang bibilhin mo ung mas mura…..dahil nag sisimula ka palng or wala kang pambili….unless kong mayaman ka na talaga…..may pambili ka ng original….magkano?
       Tayo rin ang makakasagot nyan……kung saan tyo bibibli…..

    thanks…..

      kung naipapalaganap lang sana sa mga paaralan at gobyerno ang paggamit ng LINUX at FOSS(free open source softwares) hindi kailangan bumili ng peke at nakaw na software ang mga pilipino.

      meron ngang estudyante akong nakita, ang assignment na binigay ng guro, gagawin sa autocad, meron naman ang paggamit ng photoshop ang requirement, kahit iba pa naman microsoft office/powerpoint. ang mga bata tuloy naghahanap ng ganitong mga software sa internet cafe o kahit sa mga magulang nila. kung nagiging praktikal lamang ang mga guro, at nag-iisip at responsable sa kanyang mga gawa, bakit nila ire-require gumamit ang mga bata ng mga software na napakamahal at mga professional lamang ang gumagamit at nakakabili? kung hindi ba naman pinapalaganap mismo ng mga guro na ito ang piracy?

      napansin ko pala kanina, sa isang malaking grocery ang mga gamit nilang computer, LINUX ang OS. ang punto ko lang kung magiging mulat lang lahat, may alternatibo, malalaking kumpanya gumagamit nito para makatipid, bakit hindi ang mga tao, lalo kung walang pambili.
