Pirated Apple (1986 Hong Kong)

What was happening at the Hong Kong basements 20 years ago?
simple: they where selling pirated apple computers and software :) (like now)

Take a look at this video that was recorded back in 1986 using a hidden camera.
*the intro is quite long but retro-futuristically nice :)
The most amazing is that in that shops they could get any software within 3 days of its announcement anywhere in the world.
How could they do this without internet?
easy: they had lots of good friends that were airline pilots :)
