true about the tax part....and generally majority couldnt afford it because of our low food cost. in other countries, starcraft 2 = skip 1 week lunch money? in malaysia, its skip 1 month lunch money....

If Tmnut can give me the speed as seen in my siggy, I will stop all piracy. And so will all the Malaysians.

What I'm trying to say is... it'll never happen. Another thing I'm curious about. What about private servers like RS, MS, HF etc?

u mean rapidshare and hotfile these servers? its not illegal to download files from such hosting websites but its illegal for ppl to upload stuff not belonging to them to such public hosting sites. and you are responsible to delete items not belonging to you too

so someone else upload some awesome.mp3 on those servers and its illegal, and i download it its legal? what?

i like how this logic is going.

One does not preclude the other.

because its a sharing website. the uploader should not upload something doesnt belong to him in the 1st place, the downloader has every right download anything he wants. downloading is not wrong but keeping something doesnt belong to you is wrong....

kewl, then all my torrents are legal then. wwwwwwwwwwwww

if tat law exist, trust me, global gamers will start going on a rampage. hahah

haha... it's a lil bit tricky here..

tricky situation example:

it's like selling gun la... u must hav permit to sell it... the buyer also must hav permit to buy it

BUT in the end whatever thing the buyer do is not seller responbility

BUT actually the gov also can draft law to BAN open gun trade at all


you guys see what i meant?

It's when certain law imposed at certain country or place doesnt mean it's right... doesnt mean it's wrong too for the whole world.. too many variable

it's right or wrong for the people/civic/ethic/religion/culture concept..


In Internet world obviously it's ethically incorrect to give someone's else propety (software, game, data etc) to others without asking 'permission' from the owner

In games owner/creater world, asking 'permission' might mean you have to buy it and voila.. the problem appear when people are not paying for it but download it for free instead.. = ='


*tounge twisted* (what the heck am mumbling here.... zzz)

the heck you are mumbling here is that malaysians are used to download free illegal versions and now when they knew its illegal, they resist to change because it had been their culture to pirate and couldnt accept the fact that you need to pay for a game. its our culture and something to be proud of? what a special budaya to be appreciate....maybe can put in tourismo malaysia brochures....

i would say it's our disease instead of our culture
