Alain happens!

Nice theme! I agree you have placed "the tokyotas" to address this issue? hahahaha!

Just this weekend I was at a wedding in the country with the highest piracy rate in the world at all levels: CHINA.

I pass the link so you take a look! :

A greeting!

I sincerely believe that the Japanese have a culture of crime .. truth is that you may not know that the playstation can be hacked .. but .. Do not know why? because they really have no interest in doing that sort of thing ... I am much more honest and civic than Westerners. Just see, which in Japan is almost non-existent low-level crime .. robberies, thefts, etc (unless they are immigrants)

For me today that the Japanese are a little suckers. Not that I defend the crime, but we, as it is the world we must not be a fool for life.
I told my brother the other day that had seen or read (I forget) a report on the scams that they stick to the Japanese who visit Spain. And the truth is that, were it not that the issue is serious and reprehensible, is laughable.
I believe, and here I am driven only by intuition, that after World War II that got them brainwashed with that they were very, very bad, guilt complex that lasts them yet.
But as I say, this is only a personal opinion without any scientific basis.
Greetings.

In Japan, a game is cheaper, and if you compare living standards further.

To this you add an impressive second-hand market, and the fact that it does not take a patient to partake of the Japanese video game, and I was out that people can buy the games and spend time playing instead of filling disks of things they'll never use, like a college Spanish model.

I believe that, as our musician, shots go because video games are much more accessible and cheaper in Japan.

Of course, if they were not as honest as they are, imagine piratearían as we do here yet, however that is accessible and cheap

I think we would have a better mumdo if we were all so in honest. BUT LIGHT IN THE WORLD being honest means being silly.

Interesting topic. I think his tendency not to be hacked, as you join me, partly in another culture and living standards. For example, looking at amazon.co.jp, the game "Wario Smooth Moves" for the Wii costs about 5000 yen, which come to be (correct me if I'm wrong) about 35 €. To be higher living standards, it is subjectively less. If I could buy games (great game) for the console to 12 €, not think of pirate it. I also believe that here we have a more focused thinking to the amount (you download all the Internet, anything, the fact is you have one), while they are thought to have only what they use (I have understood that you are the umbrella for the streets, using them and instead take them home, leave them for someone else can use it).
Of course, all this tirade is just my opinion, our host will tell us first hand if it is true or not.
Greetings.

I think it's as Manu said they are very honest and have instilled other values ​​... so even if some know this is not something that catches their attention. This leads to not even be an issue to speak of. Here is a topic of interest to everyone and everyone is talking about it and spreads more, I guess there is a taboo topic a bit which creates more ignorance on the subject.

more or less what it says ojovirtual xD.

I think that there is people are very well acomodadados of money and there are worth less expensive, I think there are separate types of people who have things sgusta original.

pd: Alain just come by to shop and get bathing ape pictures I would be thrilled xD.

Gee, I'm sorry to be the one to break the dream of a free piratillas Japan.
I have a PS2 in a while I got bored, because the games you bought at very low prices being original and new were in Japanese, and I missed a menu of options with minimal intelligibility. Overall, I thought I would chip and evil things like that. And I found the response of many who regarded me as the evil gaijin coming to sow the seed of evil in the Rainbow Islands. But go, one day I found myself in a library with publications, of which I keep some, Japanese, where we explain how to do those little things tooodas bad that foreigners do to play consoles cap, or to copy the movies and Tsutaya's CDs, etc, etc.
And then one goes and finds that here there is Winny, P2P software whose creator is set in the shade, but it still works and thousands of users take advantage of the extremely wide band-Japanese to do so.
Then one day you go to Denden Town and oh, surprise, the streets are selling movies in top plan blanket, and software, and Photoshop and the host in verse. He goes on a walk and see how they sell some gadgets to see the satellite and cable without paying a yen for yen ichiman all, hear ...
Well, this piracy, do not say that is the same level as Spain, Italy or China, but then to say that there is hardly much.

Big greetings and I do not hack that is not healthy

Oo that strong, I thought that as k japan has always been (for me ^ ^) leading technologies would have a lot of piracy. I was ekivocada k ..
actually a friend of mine has the Nintendo DS and game cube with all the pirated games what happens esque OO do not know where you get the games and parts ¿? I will ask ... the only thing that has esque game that they have brought from China, might please others too ...
ah a curiosity, in Japan there are no people on the street that sell music CDs and stuff? top manta style? xD

salu2 a tod @ s!

So if Japanese engineering students do not engage in downloaded movies, music, the complete set of stargate (just let me), hack their gadgets, etc. that make? Because if you are an engineer, you should have your geek branch for hidden somewhere, but it dont you spend studying ADEM or something like that.
I have friends studying computer science in the uji and in my opinion they do contests about who has more coils stacked in the room because theirs is not normal. If you are the civil guard to his house, will confuse them with a house of illegal copies of the Chinese.

With the things you learn at home pirateandote your arcades (I speak from experience ^ ^)

Returning to the subject real reason is just what I have said above, that there when you buy a game you do not take the knife to empty your pockets ^ ^
I Nose the other readers, but the same is that I was spending 60 or 70 € worth xbox360 games to last me 2 weeks.

I am struck by the difference between Japanese and Chinese, no? given the geographical proximity, the difference between them is like comparing Red Riding Hood with the wolf.

A greeting to all

Phew! Berman Dear Mario ... The difference between the Chinese and the Japanese is abysmal in every way ... you recpomiendo you read this:
http://flapyinjapan.blogspot.com/2006/03/golpe-en-la-pequea-china.html

On the other hand, Andraeil, I co live every day with students from Engineering and engineers every day and certainly have their fricadas and are otaku, but most acknowledge that no pirate style Teleco Faculty / Informatica in Spain, (no need, college student paid software licenses they need ... but only for academic purposes ^ _ ^ ;). Instead foreign students (Europeans, Chinese, Filipinos, Vietnamese ... are mounted you can not see!).

That if I'm with Javi-Kobe that if there is piracy, perhaps less level and perhaps not be said so easily, but for example, when considering all the girls in Gaidai is down to your favorite tunes via LimeWire (boys are more timid to tell those "evil customs" but they sure they did it well.

So yeah ... sorry to repeat myself, but China is a special case, however much you say it, do not conceive until you see it ... piracy is bestial in all sectors, Ipod fake, fake clothing brands, fake balls, Hardware fake, Fake watches, fake software ... that if ... and runs perfect counterfeit money.

As they say ... China is a sleeping dragon ... that the world will tremble when I wake up! O)

Angel: Much better in this respect the behavior of the Japanese than Spain for example. You better not be legal all have to be careful as to whom you least expect it someone will scam in Spain.

Ale / cucumber: Games do not know, but DVD movies are more expensive than in Spain, and if you count the Japanese economic level given that the standard of living is also more expensive there is not much difference to Spain.

Virtual Eye: You seem cheap € 35 a game? In Spain, worth over 35 €? I say as usual, people just say - is that in Japan earn more money. - But we must also see that earned more money because life here is more expensive, food, housing, transport etc etc.

Bape: What is bathing ape?

Kobe Javi: That something of piracy there may be, but ... Of what nationality were the top blanket and those who pirated the PlaStation? Chinese would not like cell phones that released here that closed all Chinese shops? How many times have you found with a blanket top in Japan? In Spain you can see very many Tops blanket in a month. Well, I think what you saw were of Chinese businesses are the number one piracy.

Andraeil: That's the problem, people dedicated to hacking but not make any lack. Anyway ... The costs a company make a game play? bone, has to be many months paying designers, programmers, maketadores, journalists etc etc and then be allowed a paste on advertising to launch the game. One could recover that taking the game to 20 €? He who sees it as easy to start up a business of video games.

Well, the magazine I have here is just one of many, in a section Junkudo several shelves devoted to the subject, all Japanese publications.
Look, if you stop by Sofmap see that the price tag of each console version is specified, for example in the PS2 and PSP, suspicious, no?.
The Nihonbashi topmantas because they have everything (by the way I see whenever I go), some are Japanese and other foreigners. We, as in Spain, because I know most I see in Spain are immigrants, that certainly buy those copies selling everything from Spanish in many cases.
This is supply and demand, if there topmantas in Osaka because some people will buy them.
Anyway I just want to note the fact that piracy exists, but perhaps people here are happier with the prices, whether books, CDs, video games or movies, or anything else, and buy original things, and I admire you for it and actually try to do the same. Product quality is also usually in accordance with the price, and that is very important.
Another issue is that in Spain things are going on a mother, but I always thought that the least fault is in this is the poor Nigerian who put the blanket on the floor. The real pirate, the eye patch, that is the exploiter of the artist and makes your product is of lower quality, and it all starts there, then hunger together with the desire to eat and how to hack so we ...
Long story but well known.

Well, Alain and company, a saludote!.

Alain: It is true that much or more people in Japan than in Spain that collects DVD movies, and are more expensive than in Spain, but the vast majority of rent.

Rent movies in Japan is cheap because, as happens in the second hand market, there is much supply and high demand. Several people I know even the rent of 5 in 5, or rent entire seasons of series. And see!

It is clear that alternatives and customs are different here, but everything can be that for most products "piratable", the Japanese find it more profitable to rent or buy second hand. More profitable not about money but about time and comfort.

On the other hand, there are markets such as software, where the piracy rate is much higher in Japan. And other "mixed" as the music, which often is rented and copied.

But this whole issue is very controversial because there are products that are not rent, or even prohibited to sell second-hand (which borders on the absurd). And the stores they rent, and sell them. Does that count as piracy too?

In the end, the truth, I have no very clear as is the issue of piracy in Japan. Every time it seems more complicated.

What Javi says Kobe is all true, of course there are Japanese who pirate, and do it well and with impunity. But they are a minority so little "cost" that comes out here this mode to a normal person.

Alain: Of course you're right. It is far better to err on the honest and well educated than rogue or unpresentable. So I admire the Japanese and I think people here in Spain as a whole is dreadful. About my previous comment is because I like to tease and annoy a bit (mostly because the blog more lively). Thank you for your comments and greetings.

The other day when the windows went live on the streets said Tokyo was selling for one euro and specifically, nose if it's true ... XD but we told it in the three four or five times vary pa XD

Nerea First of all, you talk of vista not? because the windows live is a set of services I have understood that according mjcrosoft are free (such as windows live messenger) XD
Nerea not know that the TV you have not trusted?
They invent any story without the slightest information on the subject. As you know that there for asia (china) this whole piracy, they put them all in one bag and go. All TV channels do but in antenna 3 as you say, they often do more often.
Criticism of video games being violent, criminalize a group for the actions of a group of individuals, etc..
I have 2 roommates, one works on TV and the other is in final year of journalism making practices. They are stuck in the world of TV and radio with many friends working in different medium and I have every thing you do not see.

Thinking about the response of a virtual eye AlainKun:
To say that there the price of living longer is the same as saying the opposite of what you mean.?
Let me explain:
Virtual Eye does not mean that in Japan you about money and spend it, for example, in games, if not in comparison to what it costs, for example, food, a game comes out you even cheaper.

Please answer me the first of these questions (which I can answer the second one myself):
With 5000 yen (1 Wario SM) few cans of coke (33cl) you buy in Japan?.
Now, With 60 € (1 Wario SM) few cans of coke (33cl) you buy in Spain?.

And out of curiosity how much is worth a big mac menu MacDonald?

Still I like AlainKun is not about money. For me they are cultural issues, period.

Nerea: Just above these comments have said that the sale for 1 € hera in China.

Espeso123: The Coke no idea because I do not drink Coke but the Mig mac about 480 yen menu.

I think so too. Although the Japanese were poor, I think it would be deprived hack before playing.

from japan ... take advantage of any post to get publicity for your blog, eh? that head ... xD

as the above, I think it's an entirely cultural, that it also applies to all delinquency general, and robbery, piracy is not only

as I disagree with alain, is with the prices of food, housing or even ... with respect to small Spanish cities is possible, but .. in Madrid, prices of food and shelter are even more expensive than in Tokyo believe me ...

ke I guess in Japan the number of people is ekivalente ke Pirates of the number of people ke no pirates in Spain.
I'm out there with one of the above in the comments, ke ke I was saying if you could buy a game to 12 € not procuparía in hack anything. Well, I like, I find unfair a price of 45 € for a game for the DS for example, come, no ke, ke I'm not willing to pay that money pq seems to me a lot. Already a kiere ke if a product you should pay it, but what it should be ke kreo so long as you put a fair price.
For example, there are already several ke cds I bought in pq MediaMarkt see them at 4.5 or 6 €, okay, maybe € 4 is too little, but would be willing to pay 7, 8 or 9 € for a disk. Now, pay € 15.20 for a disc ke probably only have a couple of cool songs, because as ke no.
And with games like, pay 45 € for a game ke maybe when it passes ke you neglect him, because it seems a shame, really.

Well my conclusion is that we have many, the price. It would be better to sell them to low price? aki someone would care for example, hack satellite TV (dish, deco, keys and you ke ke petan you wait for the publiken ke, etc etc) if you give all channels ... 25 €? kreo ke € 25 is anything but dirt cheap, but is now ke satellite channel and eurosport does not offer the basic Pakete (ke out for about 25 €).

Well I enrrollo k eno more. Greetings to all and very good post Alain

Tiesto: As I say above game is not just a CD, are all people who have been working to make that game, so

I think not as nice as you see.
in Japan not download the games because rent is cheap, and you can take them home to copy.
but that that they buy all original xDD
is true that there are so brutally illegal like us, but we do not spend esque all by lining xD
we should look to see if there are some fabulous Japanese programs that "burn everything"

Maybe say something stupid but can be precisely pq is the city of technologies, the game, the sleeve end. What elomismo respect the work of the people that live q. Pq give great importance to work and companies are not wings?

It might be as you say, there is so much supply and demand and also widely used second-hand selling what little influence the need for pirated products, maybe it's something else that maybe the purchasing power of the Japanese is higher. is a real incognita.

are more legal and besides there is no point xD m, enos theft

And none of you know Winny or Share? P2p programs are full of Japanese and Japanese. The creator of Winny are judging him now. And what about WinMX? This sharing also full of things Japanese and Japanese TV programs. Or, go where you think that almost all programs then we got off d-addicts or jpopsuki?. So those comments that are holy, that if the values ​​and such, fall under its own weight. The fact is you need to know Japanese to find and / or deal with them.

Konnichiwa!! (Hellos)

Greetings to all from My Country VENEZUELA, I'm Linda Caceres.

I wanted to comment about piracy. Well! tell them that here in Venezuela is normal to see in every corner where a local walk or Traders (informal street vendors) selling any kind of piracy, from porn movies, music, soft ware, games (pc, ps, ps2, ... ) to everything you can imagine of piracy .... Unfortunately our country deserves the parchesito in the eye of "the great of the pirates," if here the nerve is such that the pirateños go to the movies and recorded the film cn a home camera, the editing and sold, how are you? ? ....

Understand that it is logical that anywhere in the world there are pirates, including Japan, but certainly there are countries where more than others.

I'm a fan of the "Great Japan" because I consider it the best country in the world, the quality of honesty, loyalty, dignity, traditionalism, culture .... of its people. It is amazing that such a small country, but so small, it toooooodo technology leader in the world, and are a world power, and is vergonsozo that in a country so envied by all the resources they have, as is the VENEZUELA mine, is a Third World country.

So I think there is much to criticize Japan for if it exists (which logically should be) some pirates, for we have no moral right to criticize them.

Thank you all!

Arigato!

Eastender: Maybe you should stop by Japan of the Japanese to understand just pirate anything.

Live in Japan almost 20 years and I think the Japanese are not to be honest but rather naive and conformistas.Uds can see ejemeplo as as senior managers of NHK spent big money on political fiestas.como often high range have received money, see how even in the Japanese labor are exploited much and the worst is that they never complain, they are too submissive, by having laws that protegen.Por That is why Unions in Japan hardly existen.Uds believe even check their payslips confian.Aunque not they often deceive them.

Jose Yokota also work a lot and the Chinese pirate, or can be created due to the high standard of living in Japan is falling now, before they were richer now because of the severe crisis of the 90, or the laws here are very hard with piracy and the crimes of killing people believe that death penalty is still there ¿?

Konnichiwa tell you that Japan is a great country, but does not cross his best, I dare says that 20 years ago were better than now economically speaking, will have better technology, but have a big problem as the population is aging in Spain and will need young people to cover those positions so they can pay pensions to future pensioners. They will have to pull the foreign labor.

I live 16 years in Japan only sgte will tell you what: the Japanese people is a very repressed people want to do this and that and they do that are also very fearful of the consequences. in exchange for not hack as in European countries or North have other knavery (clarification this is not a country of perfect people ..) something more effectively China is one of the closest countries to Japan but has a history something not japan ... the Chinese were colonized by the English therefore they came to China with Western ways, and part of the mentality we can say that the Chinese are more international in its character ... the Japanese are still very oriental (ga atama katadesu) Hard Heads in relation to their way of thinking, not so easily accept the way of thinking is foreign to them generally GEN (odd) in short the difference is in their mind rather than on economic capacity that may have something that ... the Chinese and is very different to have in their history as I wrote before the entry of people from Europe who brought home another way of thinking and living that would be the most logical explanation.

I have not seen products made by Japanese pirates and piracy largest in the Brazilians do with their movies with subtitles in Portuguese

the answer is simple friends. Contanta technology that has this country, it is cheap and wages that have leg alcansa them all, paying alrededosr of 100megas 80US for Internet, being the cradle of the game developers do not have to. not as in South America where we suledos hardly enough to eat, less to give them a taste of buying an original game. so we turned piracy wing. This does not deveriamos Asher. but there is no other until they come to dignify a revolution there is no other salaries.
