Girl fined for copyright violation sells Bt16,000 worth of krathongs in an hour

A 15-year-old girl arrested and fined for violating copyright managed to sell more than Bt16,000 worth of krathongs in just an hour in front of Central Plaza Nakhon Ratchasima, according to a reporter on Monday (November 11).

 

Aom (not her real name), told the reporter on Tuesday that she was happy she could sell as many as 360 krathongs in one night, because last year she could offload only 30. This year she made sales of Bt16,200 and took home a profit of Bt8,110 after deducting expenses.

 

She said she would use the income partly for a scholarship and to give to her parents. 

 

She also voiced appreciation for the Central Plaza Nakhon Ratchasima manager, who provided space for her to sell the krathongs. 

 

Earlier, when the story of the 15-year-old selling krathongs in the shapes of popular Japanese characters was shared on social media, men claiming to be copyright agents in Thailand made a buy, then got the girl arrested by police. She was subsequently ordered to pay a fine of Bt50,000.

What a misleading headline. It should have read Poetic Justice for young girl who sells 16k worth of katongs as scam artists rot in prison. Well done kiddo may you have a successful future. You look as if you have the right drive to succeed in life.! I personally wish you great success in life and future.

Have the Boys in Brown caught those extortionist?  

If you know them , they were probably part of the problem...

 

When have they ever rushed to 'administer' an issue like this without a back -hander or the promise of one ? Without that they would shrug it off as a 'Civil Matter'.

Jesus , the shops are full of copied products and they go after a 15 year old kid over some vaguely resembled  kratongs ??

Reminds me of the "Music License Scams' in Phuket in 2009.

 

BTW , these  new Netflix pop-ups on TV really cheapen the experience of being here ...

Whats the big idea of coming on here and speaking positive about something and a Thai female at that and then add salt to the wound by wishing her a positive future??  You dont and will never fit in here!  ????
