A new thing my friend told me today, he owns a store for selling music (arabic and english), they sell the old cassets for 1 JD to 1.5 JDs , and those are legal copies, but they sell the arabic and english music CDs for 1 JD but as you can tell, illigal copies !., plus the movies they sell for 1JD to 1.5 JDs ..
In the past , when the goverment used to come to his store, they used to pay some fee for breaking the law, and just get out of it .. if he is lucky, the goverment wont take the illigal stuff, but sometimes they do, and his loss becomes very big !.
But now, a new law is out, and now the criminal investigations office is involved, if the goverment finds any illigal stuff in any of those music stores, the seller will go to jail for 48 days !!!.
I mean, for god sake, what is the use of such a law ? puting more people in the prisons , and making more families out of funding sources .. who is gonna buy a cd for 10 jds ? , people will surely start downloading those illigal stuff from the internet, most of the music stores will close now for sure, no body want to spend 48 days in prison for such a work, I am still wondering, what is the use for jordan in such a law , we are not a big multimedia producing country to get use of those copyrights, .. anyidea what good it could be to jordan ?
I am not with illigal stuff, but I dunno .. I think in such a case, let the people live .., no more poverty
