I have a curiosity:
I'd like to know if in your country/region/city has a pirate game market and how is it.
I live in Rio de Janeiro city, Brazil, and in peculiar city centre's region is the "Popular Market of Alfandega Street". It is like 5 blocks large and it is crowded.
It sells anything (from diodes to gospel music cds; from sneackers to pirate games and (original) consoles.
As I said, it is five blocks large, cut by more than a hundred of narrow streets full of small stores (just the balcony - small to large ones).
A PS2, X-Box, Gamecube, X-Box 360, etc, DVD game is about 5 US dollars (an original game would be like 100 US dollars here).
The police division responsible for piracy control sometimes goes there, but when they are coming everything that sells pirate products just close the stores. The police can just force open the store with justice authorization. Raraly happens.
So, how is the piracy where you live, if it exists as a business?
