About U$ 45,000 and some nine years in jail -- that's the max for music or film piracy in the Philippines. GMA is said set to make it into law. Meanwhile, the folks at Virra Mall and Makati Cinema Square are scrambling to move their merchandise.

Poor web designers. How are they going to learn their trade if they can't afford the steep software prices? And, all those DVDs...

(Happy, do you really think they can actually clamp down on piracy by passing a new law?)
