Buy movies from the Philippines

This is the cover or a photo of the packaging when I buy movies from the Philippines. I was on the way to certain mall to walk around and look at people. Just outside the mall in the street was one of the stands or street Vendors selling movies. The quality of copy movies or illegal movies in the Philippines is sub-standard compared to original, therefore I do not buy movies here, and they are crap. Therefore, the moral dilemma is this, how can I complain about a music and movies from the Philippines that is illegally copied and sold, and I buy it.

In defense of my stance or lack of good moral standing, I do not think I have any choice. I think it would take me a week to find a legal copy to buy movies from the Philippines. So go figure, in a typical Philippines sort of way, guess what happened when I put the DVD in my computer to watch it. This is not the movie, it is some documentary or semi-documentary or some made to sell explanation about how the said film.

I suppose I can blame myself for buying a pirated movie, however, it is annoying; you cannot even depend on the crooks to sell you what you wanted to buy. This is a scary thing about the pirated movies and always under my skin, I know there is a side story or something I should be paying attention too when I am here. Culture and a different of behavior have skins, or various peelings. You can peel off many layers to a culture, not all people are the same and not all of us are made the same, we are not all equal, it is not that easy to buy movies from the Philippines.
