It's futile. Where there's a will, there's a way. Plus, they are using DNS filtering which is easily bypassed. The use of DNS filtering is also an issue to take note of. Parcticularly, it's the same method that hackers used to poison DNS cache but in a legal and controlled way. This raises the question on how ISPs in Malaysia are going to implement DNSSEC in the future. If wanna block, do it properly. *facepalm*. Don' take me wrongly. I do not condone the filtering. There are other methods to solve the issue as was done previously like flagging for file removal instead of blocking the whole site.

There's still the matter of variety.
Ever try buying a non blockbuster film locally?

DNSSEC jeopardize the control of DNS poisoning from ISP... , it couldn't be complied.

Yea. That's exactly what I was trying to convey. Heh. For those interested: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/20...copyrights.ars/

Oh great, Tmnut raping us in the anus, AGAIN. I bet they conspired with SKMM to block these sites so they could use cheaper and crappier infrastructure to support their current amount of users.

More blocked download sites = cheaper maintenance and more accounts to be sold by Tmnut.

Wanna guess how much these cronies idiots are profiting from this?

But can they implement it? Is there a way to bypass it? When is the deadline?

I can still access the sites listed on their stupid letter though.

Final word, are we doomed or is there still a shimmer of hope left?

Guys?

Is forbidden access means blocked? Anyone pls clarify.
TOR is a software created by the CIA to track fools like us. IRAN killed many dissidents a few yrs ago by tracking through TOR. Now IRAN is teaching Syria how to track down AND killed dissidents using TOR. TOR leaves behind onions that can be easily traced in your ISP and IP trails. Read it at http://cryptome.org.

Banning file hosting sites is like accusing post offices and banks of involving in illegal activities with PO Box/safe deposit box services.

Put it this simple way let's say Pos Malaysia offers a postbox service for the public.
Then some users illegally used it for distributing illegal items and sharing the location of box with others.

So who would you go after if you were the authorities?

1) Close down Pos Malaysia operation and cancel their operating licenses?

2) Go after the PO box subscriber and the parcel sender.

3) Go after the recipient. The ones who open the box (Might be framed or tricked into doing so to get into trouble)

If SKMM can directly put the blame on the file hosting company by banning access to them, then by all means our internet days looks gloomy in years to come.

They can one day even ban webmail accounts, cloud drives, cloud OS, whatever websites which they "believe" is a threat to them.

Many says we are adopting a firewall model similar to China's green dam.
To come to think of it, China did it for national security sake and they couldn't risk their big population going on strike.
It wasn't fueled by any religion, politics or interests and fear of getting influenced.

Our internet firewall model is modeled more towards those of Iran, Saudi Arabia and those Middle East nations.
Though their internet filtering mechanism is similar to China's it's not a surprise because China/US companies sold them the technology for the money.

Among examples of what those Middle countries do to their internet censorship policies are:

1)Hiring cybertroopers to seek out threats on blogs and public discussion forums.

2)Blocking access to western sites which they deemed or feel not in accordance to their ideologies

3)DPI- Deep packet inspection to monitor,jam and throttle services such as VoIP, file sharing, torrents, etc.

Read up about it here:

Iran's Internet Censorship Most Sophisticated in The World as reported by OpenNet Initiative.
http://www.circleid.com/posts/20090619_ira..._sophisticated/

It's even far worst than any other countries even China which many think is already bad. It's almost totally influenced by politics, anti competition and dictatorship elements.

Given between China and Iran/Saudi Arabia,

Which model would you think Malaysia's internet is shaping to be and is based upon?

How sure are you guys that the ISPs will use IP protect or DNS filtering?

Cant they use something more exotic that we dont know about?

Btw, if they use IP protect or DNS filtering, can we still access these sites using IP only? (I know, dumb question, but I'm not an expert in this).

Added on June 11, 2011, 4:41 pmIt doesnt matter if its ethical or uncivilized, as long as the ISPs are stupid enough to comply/conspire with SKMM, they WILL DO IT.

This is Malaysia, apa tahi pun boleh, as long as you have the money, power and cronies connection.

Lets just hope the ISPs are not as STUPID as we THINK they are.

Just say NO to SKMM, they cant arrest the ISP, can they?

Among all the isps in Malaysia you should already know which of the few would be directly comply and give direct insights with least efforts.

Some already say that they are the same people as SKMM themselves.

Ah, they won't be charging the cheapest and being the most generous if it wasn't for this reason, would they?

Not stupid, smart!
Smart to hide their real agendas behind copyright protection.

Not very happy about the blockages and FUP also. I torrent shows because Astro refuses to show certain shows (Top Gear, latest animes) or unavailable at all (Borat, Bruno, Zoolander). Local TV is crap and is something I watch while waiting at the KK.

Maybe the anti-cap people can go join the Bersih rally also. Not happy with Dear Leader Najib screwing us out of the one thing that makes living in Malaysia bearable.

Dear Comrade Najib,
Tens of Thousands of my fellow internet users & I will be voting you out of office in the next GE because you lied to us about not censoring the internet. May you burn in hell for all eternity for your lies.

I am putting together a list of web proxy that will still access thepiratebay.org in Malaysia.

Changing to public DNS does not work for me

www.piratebaymalaysia.com

Tried google DNS yet?

8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

Tried google and opendns long before your mum was born... They IP blocked the web sites, the only way out is to vote Pakatan and see if they disable the blocking system. If not vote Anonoz Alliance to let us unlock Internet for you!

Must be blocking by IP addresses now.

what is ur isp , TMnet?
