The Flicks is for sale - It's volunteer run?
I just read this whole thread. UKj comes off as a busybody arsehole. The flicks is contributing to Expats quality of life in Pp, may it continue for long and I wish him good luck on the sale.
The Hong Kong stuff mentioned by Visser makes him sound like a jealous, resentful prick. It's just good financial and tax planning.

The expats here really need support for the suffering they endure saving Cambodia.
Ahh, this is why Ukj is being so vindictive on other thrrads.I just read this whole thread. UKj comes off as a busybody arsehole. The flicks is contributing to Expats quality of life in Pp, may it continue for long and I wish him good luck on the sale.
He hijacks a thread here and claims the flicks owners are scammers, then gets all offended when he's called out on his non stop negative drivel, then hijacks other threads to continue his little vendetta, as he just can't let go.

Those 6 years look to me just like doing business by expanding with The Flicks 2, 3 and Open Air Cinema.UKJ wrote:pocket the profits.

then sell it for $65k.
Better than set the place on fire during the sale, or the Anton-way and run away being chased by Thai police.

As you are the former poster bkktrapper who boasted on the other forum about your great job working in Osaka for a few dollars a day plus board, don't you think your view is a little hypocritical?

Didn't bkktrapper work in a SHV bar for room and booze, before moving to Malaysia then Japan?alanclarke72 wrote:As you are the former poster bkktrapper who boasted on the other forum about your great job working in Osaka for a few dollars a day plus board, don't you think your view is a little hypocritical?
In my opinion, bkktrapper is one of the most ignorant, hypocritical posters on either forum. Unfortunately I don't think he's in the minority of his generation.

I heard that film IP owners are hunting down this place and other this type of theaters at the moment in Cambodia. Either pay or shut down.
Hunting down? They're one of the most well known venues in town. If these IP owners haven't 'found' them yet, I think they're not much of a threat.rogerrabbit wrote:I heard that film IP owners are hunting down this place and other this type of theaters at the moment in Cambodia.

Afaik flicks and empire have an agreement with local distributors. As long as they aren't playing films that are in the commercial movie houses they're good. At least that's what I heard a few years back.
Also I doubt legend, platinum et al are actually paying correct royalties.

ive often wondered about this. How are they getting away with showing what they show?
I read epidemik's comment but wonder how that ties in with the fact that Empire, for example, was screening episodes of the last Game of Thrones series on the same day it broadcast in the US. Highly irregular imho.

I know I'm unloveable. You don't have to tell me. I don't have much in my life, but take it - it's yours.

It's not very complex and they will be sitting pretty until 2021.
http://www.lexology.com/library/detail. ... 052f3cc648However, as a least developed country, Cambodia has until July 1, 2021, to comply with TRIPS (with limited exceptions) and thus to comply with the key criteria of the Berne Convention. This is pursuant to the WTO’s Extension of the Transition Period Under Article 66.1 for Least Developed Country Members, which extended the original 2013 deadline for least developed countries to reach full TRIPS compliance by an additional eight years. This is the second time that the deadline has been extended.
Until these obligations are met, foreign rights holders should understand that certain rights are not protected in Cambodia unless they meet the following restrictive conditions contained in Article 3 of Cambodia’s Law on Copyright and Related Rights (Copyright Law):
Broadcasts are only protected if their organizations have Cambodian headquarters, or they were transmitted from transmitters located in Cambodia.
Phonograms are only protected if their producers are Cambodian nationals, or if the phonograms were first fixed or first published in Cambodia.
Performance works are only protected if (1) the performers are Cambodian nationals, or (2) the performances took place in Cambodia or are incorporated in phonograms that are protected under the Copyright Law, or (3) they have not been fixed in a phonogram but are included in broadcasts qualifying for protection under the Copyright Law.
Most other foreign works are not protected unless (1) they were produced by a foreigner who has a habitual residence in Cambodia (including a legal entity that was established under Cambodian Law and has its headquarters in Cambodia), or (2) the work was first published in Cambodia, or it was first published abroad but then published in Cambodia within 30 days after the first communication to the public.
Due to these restrictions, in practice very few foreign rights holders currently receive automatic protection under Cambodia’s Copyright Law.
Flicks did the same, but Game of Thrones isn't shown at any local cinemas. The deal, as I understand it, only applies to new release films screening at the local cinemas. Anything besides that is fair game.This Charming Man wrote:ive often wondered about this. How are they getting away with showing what they show?

Digi, the local ISP, has their own torrent server and streaming service with films, music, software...
Yep, Komsan for streaming. There's also p2push.net, which is their torrent server.Miguelito wrote:Komsan? I use it, it's great.epidemiks wrote:
