Ice Dragon v2 Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 The black market. A place or corporation that sells illegal goods or bootleg or whatever that has been smuggled in to the U.S. Police have stop these markets for some time. Even though we only hear that they sell drugs, guns, and organs (yea they sell them) But lately, I've done some heavy thinking about this. Kids our age are doing it and making a business on whatever they're selling. If you don't know on what I mean, they sell copies of games, burned music cds, and sell other operational programs. It may seem harmless because the public thinks it's just how kids play with technical stuff. Think about it. Right in our very eyes, some kids are getting into the busniess. But we do nothing to stop them. Do you think you should stop them or let them go as they wish??? What are your thoughts about this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiroMunkie Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 [SIZE=1]I don't really know too much of the Black Market. I only know the name and what goes on in it. I don't care about it, cause it doesn't affect me in any way so I have no reason to go against it. So ya, I'm impartial :p Kids selling burned CD's and games and stuff is harmless dude. No one is getting hurt by it. I, myself, don't like burned CD's because it's just not the same as having the real thing. Only the overly desperate people who really want them will buy them burned.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Macaiodh Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 i say just let them be. cops have more important things to worry about. the whole drug sweep thing is ridiculous, too. do you have any idea how much manpower that wastes? & it's been going on for years & years.

Fall Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 I used to think why the can't they stop it? Well, now I'm still thinking why can't they stop it? The Black Market really confuses me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicoTranzrig Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 [COLOR=darkblue]It's actually benificial to the people who shop there...I know they're screwing the companies who are actually making the product...but, in turn, these companies are, in one way or another, exploiting other people to make their company successful...[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 I don't know anything! I swear, it wasn't me who bought that illegal shipment of women's stockings! No, but, I also admit to having a few, erhm, [SIZE=1]illegal[/SIZE] items and I also admit to having sold a few of those "items" but, I don't think it really screws the companies who market them as much as they would have you believe... -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoTranzrig Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 It could be actually good, in that the peope who aren't so fortunate get to experience quality products that are cheap for once...it may not be authentic, but if it's useful, than ...great :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicoTranzrig Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 [COLOR=darkblue]That's always true...but looking on the bright side of the black market...you can get what you want. But it should be stopped because not all makers of quality products are corrupt and they need the honest money to survive.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they knew what it was, they wouldn't care. I know my dad dosen't, he burns me copies of stuff all the time. My mom hates it, but half the time she dont know. I say, let them do what they want, and if they get caught, chances are they will stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 trying to stop the black market is pointless. they try to stop drugs, what did it lead to? nothing. as for me, nearly everything on my computer is illegal, but for the most part, people don't know about how to get movies, games, software, and what not.

Hehe, ya harry, by the time they got to you with the warrant you could have that illegal stuff gone and have gotten rid of the evidence :D The only "black marketing" I do is stealing things and selling them for more than they actually are worth, hehe :devil: But I got out of that business a long while ago...[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't sell them, but they're not mine and all that, and anyway, they're usually compilation cds. A friend will get a new cd with a song I want, and I'll burn that song, and then another friend might have another cd of another song, and I'll burn that one to the cd etc. etc. and so on. That's about the only thing I can think of...... *ponders*.... yah, I guess so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiroMunkie Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 [SIZE=1]Now, ya see, I don't really think that burning compilation CD's is or should be illegal, only burning FULL CD's of on band and then selling 'em and stuff like that. But no one can really stop people from doing that, I mean, the whole world is in on doing that and authorital figures lack the manpower to take 'em all down.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a whole lot cheaper than the normal ones, I like getting a cd for 10 bucks instead of 20, that means I can buy 2 cd's. more fun for me. :tasty: :wigout: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
