Q80 Boy: Jokers in the gov’mint. Jokers running around in Ministries and more little jokers being bred and brainwashed to take their places.

A very, very sad joke is this country. Only a handful of us people are willing to make a change. While others don’t give a flying fuck about it as long as they have all the ‘free’ money they can get.

Hah.

you’re right Q80… there’s nothing remotely fun(ny) about Kuwait.

Anyone thinking a newspaper/company gives a sh*t about copyright infringement in Kuwait is clearly delusional.

HaHa i saw them use photos from http://www.miskan.com so many times and they never put copyright info under it.
If you dig their archive for 2004/2005 you will see many of those things.

campus cruise doesnt have a single original article.All the content is glorified PR that is spread across the pages.Most if not all the pictures are low res and pixilated or stolen. Their distribution is weak and the magazine usually comes out around the 15th of the month even though its supposed to come out on the first. The fact that the magazine is still open is a sad reflection on the advertising world of kuwait whereby companies place ads soley based on wasta and corruption.In any other mature market a magazine of such low calibar would have closed a long time ago.

What a shame, copyrights are taken very slightly in Kuwait. Put the pictures issue aside, take a look at the copied CDs being sold in every mall, movies being sold for 1kd. This will never be stopped from inside, it needs to be stopped from outside.

Well hopefully they contacted the owners of these pictures before using them!

I hope Zabo0o6a that its the case for all of them! But I doubt that! I’m happy they asked your friends at least, lets see what they do about the others.
