Before coming to Mexico, I shoved every DVD I owned into a CD case and coveted them as much as my English reading material; all of which I assumed would have to last me for about 4 months. Turns out, though, that the pirating business is bustling here in Mexico and I feel like the #1 beneficiary. The walls of the central market are lined with electroniconistas ready to make a deal at the drop of a hat. They have the latest titles and dvd players to show you just how good the quality is and, of course, that they are in English, not dubbed with Spanish subtitles. I have run into a few lemons on my pirated dvd adventures but on the whole I give them rave reviews. My dvd collection is expanding at the bargain price of about $1.50 per title. It puts me at ease to know that if swine flu round two hits, I will be boarded up and enjoying my now extensive dvd collection!
