Bro, whether it's good or bad for ur health ; It's all entertainment or additction & it's part of life :em

If something is illegal & damaging a country's economy , government has every right to control/eliminate that threat :k

We in SL also transfer a huge amount of money to India per year by using Indian DTH illegally. :-/

This breaks the import/export ratio and creates a currency devaluation and we end up paying Rs.145+ per US dollar without even knowing that we are the cause of such disaster.

I know that we will loose the chance of viewing many channels specially HD channels and be forced a pay a higher rental for fewer channels. Our choices would be limited. But, considering the long term effect on the economy, I would welcome if authorities become more strict on this.

I don't want the economy to collapse for my selfishness.
 
Art, culture, entertainment, music... these things cant be stopped. Its like a flowing river.

Whats gud, is gud... and will be appreciated by everyone irrespective of the nationalities/religions/caste/greed etc.

Indian TV content, and specially bollywood is almost in-separable now from the Pakistani ppl.
They have been watching Indian movies since decades.

No matter what, bollywood cant be separated from Pakistani ppl. :k

Likewise, Pakistani artist likes.. Nazia hassan, rahat fateh ali khan, Ustad nusrat fateh ali khan, ghulam ali etc have been loved in India as well.. as much as in Pakistan.

So, these things cant be stopped. :tup

Not possible, Sri Lanka does not have any laws regarding DTH industry yet. So, can't make any complaints yet.

No bro, not a single law regarding satellites here. Anyone can downlink and uplink anything. That's why Dish TV started a base here and uplinking Pakistani channels which is not possible within India.

So SL govt don't get any revenue from channels as no license required :skd

There r laws for illegal use..
But SL is different kettle of fish comparing with Pakistan, who spends portion of their budget in fighting with India :lol;)

Also DishLanka enables everyone to set up their dish & use any receiver inside the house :D:p

They get revenue only from the taxes of local DTH/Cable providers and licenses are only given for local channels for transmitting via analog antennas.
