Hail Piracy
Exciting, thrilled, exuberant was I. Anyway new year, new decade and may be new opportunities. But life is not any fairy tale. Anyways.
It was a new year and I went to shop some books. Here I was sitting in odyssey turning through pages of a book, and all of sudden, obviously after seeing the price, an idea bulbed in my mind. Hey I can buy this same book in Koti at a what 1/4th of a price. Thinking for few minutes I came to conclusion may be I will be helping more needful by buying book from Koti than to buy it from genuine source (which I am not very sure) like odyssey.
My internal thought process:
"Hmmm..So this books costs 475 rs. But Deloitte guy, Shobhit was saying he bought it from Koti @ 150 only. Seriously, I will save 300 bucks and I can watch 3 more movies :). But then this is not good, it is cheating. If it is cheating how can people sell so many books with such a big open market of book where there are not less than thousand shops selling so many pirated books. Arey they must be bribing those police people so they dont say anything, this is bad really bad. Let me buy from genuine source."
Now after turning few pages
"Arey even drug-seller can bribe polices but i dont see such open source for drug. What yaar dont grandiose things. Achha just think, is it helping society? Hmmmm...there is printer definitely not very famous or a big earner otherwise he would have been charging a lot. Small may be one room industry. Printing pirated books, cover page etc etc, I dont think very rich persons would be involved. Now most of the sellers are either on roadside or selling the books in a shop which is definitely comparable to paanwaala shop. Yeah there are some big shops which also carry forward this kind of business but still majority are roadsider's.
Now somebody, someone must be corrupt in order to complete the chain. Someone or the other government official. So I am giving some money to promote the corruption. But what about that guy VVC who dont know how to talk to people. Just for the money he can act as Gandhi or Godse. I regret watching his movie by giving 100 bucks. But anyhow if I buy book from that cheap source, it will definitely save me some money, and money will be circulated to much lower section of society compared to richer section. Government is already doing that job, creating the big deep gap between them which is widening day by day why should I abet it. Lemme try to reduce it :). Anyway I will try to balance out, sometime from Genuine sources but most of the time from Pirated sources."
I may be totally out of context but things are not that good as they seems especially when we are from that section of society who have an easy access to internet. They are bad really bad, and I feel it is rotting day by day. Gap is becoming wider, simple day to day life are becoming expensive. Pulses are definitely out of reach from majority of people. Basic needs are distancing themselves. And government is too worried for the cause like How to divide the state?
