South Koreans Love Free Stuff

korean downloaders

According to a survey conducted by the Korean Film Council, just under half of South Korean Internet users download pirated materials from the web. In South Korea, downloading bootleg films has become a national Internet pastime, along with online gaming and porn archive collections.

About a third of surveyed users claimed that the cost savings of downloading movies was a prime motive and about 21 percent rationalized the downloads as being more hassle-free as opposed to purchasing legitimate products. 28 percent of people who said they have never downloaded any pirates materials said so because it was too complicated.

I am more interested in the South Korean version of Japscat.

the fourth chick from the left needs a dicking

South Koreans are pretty lazy. It’s no surprise that North Korea has been wanting to nuke them for centuries.

I like that 2nd chick and the fourth. Free movies often fuel sales of the real thing. They would do best to support, even subsidize, crappy quality downloads for free and that would boost sales the most.
