Some shops at Sim Lim Square are selling hard disks filled with hundreds of pirated movies to customers why buy media players from them.
BUY a media player from us and we will fill its hard disk with movies - for free.
No hard disk in media player? No problem.
Buy a portable hard disk or bring your own to get the movies.
Want more movies? Also no problem.
Just come back with your portable hard disk for "refills" at a fraction of the price of a DVD.
This is the carrot being dangled by some vendors at Sim Lim Square to customers who buy media players from them.
Sounds like a great deal.
Problem is, what these vendors are doing is illegal.
It's equivalent to selling pirated movies, lawyers told The New Paper.
