its like punishing the innocent along with the guilty ones. see how you like it if you in that kind of situation and you are on the innocent side.

for example : a whole block of apartment was cut off from electricity because of few apartment owner didnt pays their bills. yet you, who always pays the bill on time is also got your electric cut off too.

What gives SKMM the right to block these websites such as megaupload, fileserve and depositfiles?

Funny that we claim to practice internet censorship policy under the MSC Bill of Guarantee.

They are just merely FILE HOSTING sites for God's sake.
It's the account holders who share their links to pirated contents over the net to the public that they should be going after.
The legality of these sites is no different from having email accounts, cloud storage and collaborative sharing.
If they are serious, then go after those who upload and share the links openly on blogs, etc..Not these sites. They are just offering "content hosting and storage" purposes.

Even the US, Singapore and many developed countries don't ban the access to this sites.It's like telling people that they can't upload their personal stuff to their email accounts and cloud storage. Things only get illegal when they start sharing the links to their uploaded content for the public.

Oh and touching the legality of VPN, how come they are not going after these VPN services as well? They are banning file hosting sites on the basis that they are illegal so encrypted tunneling is just a mean to circumvent it. So why they pretend they don't know?

Why? Our VPN services are setup by the cronies themselves to take advantage of the situation?

How about banning other storage sites such as Microsoft SkyDrive, Amazon Cloud, Apple's iCloud?
Ban the use of emails with large inbox sizes because friends are sending me files and sharing their private content with me such as photo albums, work documents, etc. You dare claim that you have the right to see them too? On what basis? That's over the line of individual privacy.

These idiots really take stupidity to new levels.
Even countries such as US, Australia, Europe, Singapore won't be banning these file hosters,All they can do is report and request for the removal of the links should they find that it's distributing pirated content.

They should inform the international organization about this and request to shut down the website instead blocking us to access.

this is something call save the bandwidth, might as well limit the bandwidth to those certain ip address instead of blocking it.

Anyhow they also doing this....

Why? Our VPN services are setup by the cronies themselves to take advantage of the situation?

The only good thing I see coming out of this is that it will help spread the message on how to subvert the naive DNS censorship scheme. Where it was only porn and extremist sites before, the net is cast wider now to filesharing sites.

Then if the government censors something that it shouldn't, there'll be more people who can help their family/friends/neighbors subvert it.

Ya, long time ago they censored R*DT*BE
