Q - I bought some CDs and games from a car boot sale, I know they are copies but they are much cheaper than the real thing. Is there anything wrong with that?

A - Yes. Copies often don't work at all or are very poor quality. Copied software can also damage your equipment or introduce viruses.

It has often been found that the people who deal in fake goods are also often involved in drugs and other criminal activities. Do you really want to be doing business with such people?
