Counterfeit CD and DVD sales thriving

DOHA: Counterfeit Compact Discs (CDs) and Digital Video Discs (DVDs),
particularly of old Hollywood and Hindi blockbusters, are being sold
in the local market openly.

The illegal business is thriving and is brisk on weekends, especially
late on Thursday and Friday evenings.

Most of the illegal vendors carrying out the shady business are low-
income Nepalese workers who do it on a ‘free-lancing basis’ for an
extra buck.

They sell the CDs and DVDs for as cheap as between QR3 and QR5,
whereas genuine CDs and DVDs can cost many times over.

It is easy to make these CDs and DVDs even at home using genuine ones.
Earlier, the shady operatives used to vend these items openly along
roadside.

But, now they don’t sit at a fixed place and keep moving about in
crowded areas, holding a bunch of DVDs and CDs in their hands.

On Thursday and, especially Friday evenings, one can see a number of
Nepalese carrying CDs and DVDs in bags and sometimes in their hands as
well roaming around on Al Asmakh Street and near Souq Najada.

Enquiries reveal that after the intellectual property office has begun
conducting frequent raids on outlets selling counterfeit CDs and DVDs,
the illegal vendors have become cautious.

However, despite they having become low-profile, their potential
customers, a vast majority of whom are also low-income foreign
workers, can identify them easily, say sources

Should NRNA work in this direction to educate our Nepalese workers
that such activity of selling copied CD/DVD is illegal and can land
the person in jail/deportation ?

सम्पूर्णमा नमस्कार ,
NRN कतार बाट forward हुने मेल हरुमा NRN को गतिबिधी अनी भाबी निती तथा कार्यक्रम को बारेमा भए राम्रो हुने थियन र ? यस्ता copy गारिएका रचना जो निकै पुरानो पनि हो, लाई NRN मा तथा NRN बाट forward नगरे कसो होला ? NRN भनेको प्रबासी नेपालीहरुको िहतमा काम गर्ने साझा सस्था हो भन्ने बुझेको िथय तर यहाँ बाट forward हुने यस्ता खालका लेख तथा रचना हरुले यो झल्काउदैन भन्ने मलाई लागेको छ । NRN सँग अ-सम्बिन्धत लेख रचना हरु आँफैले रचेको होस् या किप गरेको अन्य पत्र पत्रीका तथा wave साईट हरुमा प्रकाशन गरे राम्रो हुँदैन र ?

Namaskar Bom Ji,

 

It’s my personnel opinion to your comment below.

 

It’s very much appreciated that you have at least highlighted the point to publish the activities related to NRN and hope every one agree with your opinion. I personally feel pound of like you NRN member showing interest in NRN activities where many of us even cannot think of it cause of busy routine with our job. Hope concern people will hear your voice.

 

In the mean time I feel quite uneasy with your comment for supplementary publish on NRN mailing. It smells like it discourages the people who like to expose their creativity and also it doesn’t give the justice to those members who actually love those distribute. It’s an additional glory for like you well-read member to respect others feeling and interest as well. I feel so.

 

Concerning your comment regarding the COPY, I feel like to copy is also one the best means of learning and sharing of knowledge as far as its legal to do. I like to highlight the very common example here, we have our parents who copied the culture of our grand parents, we have copied same from our parents and we wish our children could copy us to preserve our identity as Nepali on the globe. It’s also true that it needs some reform in order to cope with the moment in time.

 

At last but not the least wish you all a great day!

 

Yours Faithfully,

 Roshan Magar

सम्पूर्ण मित्रहरु

NRN-Qatar email group कतारमा कार्यरत सम्पूर्ण गैर आवासिय नेपालीहरुको
आफ्नै समुह हो । यसको सदस्यहरु पनि सबै गैर आवासिय नेपालीहरु मात्र हुन्
। यस समुहले आपसि छलफल तथा सुचना आदान प्रदानबाट नेपाल र नेपालीको हित
हुने कार्य गर्न सबैलाई प्रोत्साहन गर्ने विश्वास लिईएको छ । यो समुह गैर
आवासिय नेपालीहरुको समुह भएकोले गैर आवासिय नेपाली संघ कतार शाखासंग
सहकार्य गर्दछ तर गैर आवासिय नेपाली संघ कतार शाखाद्वारा संचालित भने
होईन । अत यसमा पठाईने ईमेलहरु गैर आवासिय नेपाली संघ संग मात्र
सम्बन्धित हुन्दैन र हुनु पर्दछ भन्ने छैन ।

यस समुहका सदस्यहरु सबै गैर आवासिय नेपाली संघ कतार शाखाका सदस्य हुनु
पनि जरुरी छैन । तर यस समुहको एक प्रमुख काम भने गैर आवासिय नेपाली संघ
कतार शाखालाई आवश्यक सल्लाह सुझाव र मार्ग निर्देशन दिनु हो जुन गैर
आवासिय नेपाली संघ कतार शाखाले स्विकार्न वा अस्वीकार गर्न सक्दछ । साथै
यस समुहमा गैर आवासिय नेपाली संघ कतार शाखाले आफ्नो कृयाकपाल तथा बैठकहरु
बारे जानकारी उपलब्ध गराई आफ्नो कार्यलाई पारदर्शि बनाउने विश्वास लिईएको
छ ।

यस समुहमा कतारमा कार्यरत गैर आवासिय नेपालीहरुले आफ्नो मनको भाव
साहित्यिक लेख रचनाको रुपमा प्रस्तुत गर्न सक्दछन् । अन्य लेखकका रचनाहरु
पठाउदा लेखकको नाम तथा साभार गरिएको बारे यथोचित जानकारी समेत भए वेश
हुनेथियो ।

साथै कतारमा कार्यरत विभिन्न सामाजिक संघ संस्थाहरुले आफ्नो कार्यक्रम
तथा कृयाकलापहरुबारेको जानकारीहरु यस समुह मार्फत प्रचार प्रसार गर्न
सक्नुहुने छ ।

यस समुहमा पठाईएका सम्पूर्ण ईमेलहरु रुजू गरीमात्र प्रकाशित हुन्छन् ।
असभ्य भाषा तथा व्यक्तिगत गाली गजौल गरीएका, chain email हरु तथा
व्यापारीक विज्ञापनहरु यो समुहमा नपठाउनु हुन अनुरोध गर्दै त्यस्ता
ईमेलहरु अस्वीकृत गरिने जानकारी गराउन चाहान्छौ ।

धन्यवाद ।
