‘Siga ka?’: OMB raids store selling pirated games

10/25/07

Posted under Games, Gaming Scene

HERE’S a video taken by hackenslash/INQUIRER.net reporter Alex Villafania of the raid conducted by the Optical Media Board in SM Megamall.

The video clip shows a furious OMB Executive Director Rosendo Meneses berating an employee of 5th Avenue Telecom, one of the shops that was raided.

“The employee told Meneses not to use their plastic bags after their shop was caught with thousands of illegal computer software and video games. OMB agents were so surprised with the haul that they did not carry enough bags and instead used the shop’s own plastic bags,” Alex reported.

    Subukan kaya nya mang raid sa Quiapo. Tons of pirated CDs, DVDs and software there.

    Tingnan lang natin kung makalabas sya ng buhay mula doon. Hanggang Megamall lang ang kaya nya e.

    The louder the can the more empty it is.

    The funny thing is, 5th Avenue can also file charges against the OMB for theft. Because by law the OMB can only confiscate what is illegal i.e. the pirated cd’s, and obviously the store’s plastic bags are not pirated. It’s like saying “We’re here to confiscate your illegal cd’s, so give us your car/s so we may bring them back to the office.”
