Thank you, Mr. Good Citizen.

Your effort and good citizenship to keep the country clean from crime is commendable.

I have reported your noble sacrifice and public awareness to the Police.

Specifically, I have recommended that you be given a medal, certificate, and be put on the newspaper.

Please await further notification whether your nomination is successful.

Thank you.

Best Regards,

[b]Was Curious as to how hard it can be to report software piracy here in SG.

2 weeks ago, I was with a friend who wants to shop for a game in Tampines.
We happened to pass by a pirate shop selling all kinds of PC/ Mp3/ PS2/ PSP/ Xbox/ Windows games & software item at a low price!

Being a good citizen, i took some photos with my mobile phone & went home intending to post this to the authorities.

But going to the websites, i found it impossible as websites from IPOS, BSA & techsource refuse to accept ppl reporting them.

Wonder why is it so?? Maybe the good moderaters/admin here can help ?

Don't believe me? check out location is Blk 505 Tampines central 1 (row of shops)

This kind should go for commercial crimes type i think!

Anyway, the mods here are not some kinda online patrol police leh! Surprised [/b]

unless im mistaken, the police only catch those people if they are on a raid.

other than that, can close one eye.

mamamamama SG

Threadstarter, can PM your address? So that i can award you with the

"good citizen " award? You deserve to be on the front page of Straits Times.

Ito_^ SG

why PM? post here so if we can go his home and congratulate on his award. Embarassed

neverendingtrauma SG

just a thought. perhaps the shops really have connections with friends in the police. or if that police friend know that they'll be sent to that area to patrol, he will tell the shop owner to 'close the shop that day lah, respect abit hor'. and the police may have to observe the shop for more than a month before they can move in to charge / close down. by then the shop can move to other areas.

am not talking about abovementioned tampines pirated cd shops, but other small ones i know. including 1 that used to be in bishan

superstrongnlong SG

Ask police liao, they say not under them. Must report to RIAs or BSA for music & software.
They merely accompanay their officers carry out the raid wif the commercial crime dept or something like that.

Maybe U can help by telling e Uncle there not to sell those things or she be arrested!
