Re: Ratings

I read yesterday that Etisalat, the emarati company is going to acquire either alfa or mtc touch very soon for approx. 7 billion dollars. I hope it is going to have a positive effect on the rates. You may read the article here : Link

Armenia, Azerbaidzhan, Moldova and Zimbabve. Lebanon not in top30 list.

I don't know how they rate them, but the pirate scene here is evolving but most of the stuff is imported and sold here.

Re: Ratings

More and more places selling pirated stuff here. For example, a whole town is now known for having dozens of dvd shops (1,500LL to 2,000LL).
Most of the DVDs are imported from Syria and are produced by " King DVD ".

Re: Ratings

i thought u meant something about ppl actually doing the cracks not importing them  - underground w ossas -

the syrian guys do it themselves or also get it from somewhere ?

Re: Ratings

I think they do them themselves, as most of the subtitles are arabic-only.

Re: Ratings

they do the packing themselves yeah, but not the cracking.
as for the DVD, they get the original release and append the translation.
i dont really respect their work. just my opinion tho.
what other strive to give out for free, they modify to make some big $$ out of it .... and i wonder.
