Movies Anyone?

So, as you are waiting... almost anywhere in Dar... guys come up selling you DVDs... not exactly legal DVDs but, not exactly illegal (here in Tanzania). These aren't in crude boxes, they are shiny slips with chinese branding. Iron Man 2 was available 2 days after it was released in the theater. New movies are usually camera recordings from some odd again while older movies tend to be DVD rips.

The price for the fine facsimile? $3.00 each.

What's interesting is that in some African countries, pirating foreign films is completely fine but local films are verboten. It's often hard to even find a place to buy legal DVDs.

The answer is probably not trying enforce copyright laws in Africa. The most effective way to solve this would probably be to sell DVDs in Africa for $3.00... Not much margin but probably more income than the alternative.
