Default Is it illegal to buy pirated games?

I know it is illegal to sell...but about buying?

Will I get fine if I buy pirated games?

Serious question...can someone provide me answer?

All I want is to be ordinary and normal person....why don't you give me a chance...?

I would think it was. I mean, it's really no difference if you did it yourself.

ur answer : yes

because u don't support original and u are in cahoots with the seller too .
well if u bought any pirated cds and the police did a rounding or something , u can get caught too because u invole to buy those cds

lol what a question.......

take it this way, ask yourself, if it's legal to buy, but it's illegal to sell, then dont make sense right. and vice versa

if it's illegal to sell, then it's illegal to buy. must be a 2 way traffic


you will not get fine unless you get caught.

Sometimes police will raid your house and check thoroughly to see if there any illegal cd at your home

It's illegal to buy or sell pirated games...
But as the saying goes..."Whatever you do, don't get caught."

Default Re: Is it illegal to buy pirated games?

they will always try to catch shop and sellers. buyers wont want to catch, just give warning to scare ppl... no point waste resources to catch a person w 3-4 cds of pirate games.. but if porn then if catch will kena no matter how little..

just dunt get in trouble w police.. via other means ie net cheating,scaming,send threats to ppl via comp.. crimes involving comp will allow police to search comp HD for evidence.. so if happen to have porn, lots of pirate games/cds they might also charge u w dat also...
