the ppls that sent d complaint about the sites are from OUR LOCAL MUSIC/MOVIE INDUSTRY...
d govt act base on d report only...
go blame to the artist for this...and read more newspaper ya?

I'm sorry, but I can't seem to digest your rationalization on piracy. I believe that the entertainment we enjoy should be based on what we can afford. If you can't afford high speed internet, Astro, Original CDs, ect, then don't buy them. It's not yours to enjoy. Your post above make it seems like entertainment is a must and if you can't afford them, then steal them.

I'm not supporting the government's move in blocking FS sites, but I do still think that piracy should be avoided. The only reason that I could think of that can justify piracy is because we couldn't buy originals even if we wanted to. Somebody please tell me where can I download music, movies, TV shows LEGALLY. I would gladly buy originals if there are actual websites that sells them.

What? So you just listen to some crack head complain and you simple implement something that doesn't have any legal basis? Full of sh*t, bro.

Don't be a government apologist. They are responsible for every action that they take, it is their responsibility to ensure that they are taking the right move, not just blindly do something.

If they are that dumb, then they shouldn't be in charge of our country.

This is what is happening and there are quite a few valid and invalid reasons behind it no matter how mature your thinking is.

Humans are stubborn and the majority of us will find the easy way out. Even your practical take on this matter will be hard to implement because it is not as easy as it sounds.

if govt dont take action industry blame...
if govt take action, ppls blame...
then how?

Implement something new to satisfy both sides?

do you really think it effect our local musician and filming industry ? LoL
Seriously , i cant brain this.

There's a lot of way of fighting piracy but Malaysia always did it in a funny way.
Just take a little more time and think again.

Look what reason they(the government) gave ? Its total hilarious i can tell you.

The internet is the only platform that is free. People should stop giving their freedom away. The government to control tv, radio, newspaper.. now they want to control the internet. Come on people dont be such fags and fight for your rights as netizens. If people dont support freedom on the internet then it will be just another controlled media.. internet is the last frontier for to get free unbiased information from many different sources.
You cant stop piracy on the net.

The entertainment business have not adapt to the internet revolution.. it screwing them and they opt for the easy solution. Why find an affordable solution when you can just ask your "friends" to do the dirty work for them. Just block these sites.. F&*K those teenagers or young people who cant buy original Lady Gaga album that cost RM40. You're too poor to listen to music. Ohh wait..Who are the biggest fanbase for these artist???? who?? is it old people that have big salary?? no?? its those young generations that actually supported these artists. Its the students, the 20 something year olds. Ohh yes we can charge RM40 for an album because we can! Who cares when the cost of producing a CD and cover is RM5.. who cares about the economy or the laymen on the streets we are "artists" and we are suppose to be rich!

The whole point of the internet is to provide content rich access for everybody. Why dont they use the internet to cut cost and charge on content basis. Look how iTunes are doing it. CD Audio is being replace and is getting more obsolete. Those people who cry foulplay and run to their BN "uncles" to block these sites should grow up and think of ways to use the internet instead of blocking it. These industries who fight against freedom on the net are just digging their own graves.

we should show to our local artist that we never DL their CD, movie or anything..
they r d one yang perasan..stoopid Norman KRU and his RIM members...sigh

Well said on the entertainment industry not adapting.

Where do I do that? Before that.. What is KRU and RIM?

Sometimes i think that some are taking advantage of this issue and blaming the government rather than looking deeper into the issue and finding out why. I guess it's normal human nature to complain and blame rather than to investigate.

after tmnut promote their unifi for fast surfing like nuts,then now lots of website are blocked...so what is the purpose of unifi?reading utusan.com.my?oh my...so much for my beloved freedom of everything...

KRU is d grup that produce and direct Merong Mahawangsa..
RIM i dont know..i just read it on newspaper...

what? who is taking advantage? what we get from any of this? u think got conspiracy here?

you may be right
maybe the US is behind all this because most of the files shared on those sites are Hollywood movies
and when our politicians made thei visit to US they were told to block those sites
that's why SKMM chose those sites and not jiwang.org which shares more local movies and songs
could this be a new form of colonialism???

I do believe that government's true motive is not about piracy, but just want to put the taxes and fees we paid into their own pocket instead of using it to buy bandwidth.

They don't offer high speed for no reason. Look at Comcast Commercials.

Even the girl talks about downloading movies and how her connection is twice as fast as UVerse VDSL.

That spaghetti monsta...sure is a genius.

Ya! But she's probably referring to legal downloads.

But then again, we CAN"T get legal downloads.
Hell, even some Youtube can't be watched here.
Hulu anyone?
