Address: Jalan Hang Kasturi, Kuala Lumpur 50050
Directions: Central KL

Name of Shop: Street vendors, especially around Chinatown

Fake software and music CDs are absolutely rife in KL. In Singapore, and Thailand to some extent, the authorities are clamping down and you don't see so much but it's another story here.
It is basically theft and ethically wrong but being able to get something for a fraction of the normal price is very tempting.
The situation won't last forever. For one, the software companies are making their products much more difficult to use illegally. Microsoft Office XP needs to be activated using a special code provided my Microsoft after it is installed. Secondly, there is political pressure being applied to the governments of countries where copying is going on.
Your decision whether to buy or not.
