5555 tell me about it. me and old TG had a massive argument (because she thought i was putting down thai people) i kept commenting at the fact that one of her favorite soaps of the month kept using the Braveheart soundtrack, and bits of mission impossible. i thought it was funny but also that it a cheap thing to do, and tried to educate her on the fact that when somebody creates something, they don't do it out of the goodness of their heart most of the time, its work and people should be paid for it (which is why i'm against downloading of illegal music unless its just to sample an album which you may end up buying or not depending if you like what you hear), but she didn't get it. i know in chinese culture that to copy something (and not pay for it) is a sign of appreciation and admiration (not just the fact it saves them a shit load of money not paying royalties and licenses...), so perhaps its the same in thailand. but i still think its out of order and frankly lazy of the thai's to do this in their media and music
