Well she never said anything about original either so that's something we can't argue.

Anyway, why would you download a movie on a PC instead or your TV STB if it was through legal ways?
If it was a legal rental service you won't be doing it on your PC. It's either a BlueRay rental or on the home media.

There is a point many people missing here

That is like saying the industry is demanding that their actors are allowed to use banned drugs. Its illegal, what can they blame the government for?

Internet censorship is illegal, period. This is a point that many Malaysian seems to be missing, there is no reason to discuss about piracy and what not, the bottom line here is that government cannot censor the internet. In a democratic system, that is illegal.

Streaming's the future not physical discs.

hey guys, want to ask.. if unifi user can still access those websites?
i just apply for upgrade streamyx to unifi. for streamyx, i still can access those

I think the government has forgotten that it's the PEOPLE who will be voting them into power, not our dead entertainment industry. Just how many people bother to download our local shitty content? Ask the isp and I'm sure most of the dls are foreign content. That's why they don't bother to block jiwang.org which has more local content. How much local content is hosted on those 10 sites blocked? Barely any.

I love how this will portray Malaysia to the world, who wants to set up a company in a country that blocks internet access? Our government doesn't realise that most foreign company who sets up a branch here would need to communicate with their main branch overseas through the internet and this will just make people look elsewhere to set up branch instead. Way to go, BN. Let's dig a deeper hole for us to die in, why don't you?

Anyway, I still find it funny that they think they can censor the internet, most Malaysians who are savvy enough to learn to dl would know how to bypass any block. All they did is piss off the citizens so close to the election time. Exercise your vote people!

huh do we any other party?

if we look at our current situation, yes we need a new party...
we need a leader that understand d rakyat...

just now i DL RAR file...d speed was on 55KBs and below..
last time 255KBs...arghhh

as for the speed guess there's nothing much we can do ><

yalor...
but i discovered that one of d mamak near my place is using unfifi biz..
tomorrow will spend my evening there...
all proxy apps and dns edy on go...will try to DL Mu,RS, FS etc...
will report here tomorow nite..hehe

That's the most stupid statement ever made for an excuse.

It shows they know nuts or nothing if they fell for it by pleasing 'YES' for everything. Probably they didn't even know what's file hosts are when they went for free holiday trip then.In their minds are just well might as well enjoy the sightseeing trip and YES to everything my host says.

How come isps in other countries like Singapore, Thailand, Australia, NZ, Vietnam, Europe or even Americans weren't pressured for such demands?

lol if it's true then that shows how brainless our politicians are
I bet other countries would have predicted how their citizens would react to it if they block those sites
but our politicians just simply made the decision without discussing it with the public
they think doing something that other countries haven't done before is a great achievement

must be because they want to achieve the "program transformasi kerajaan" so every department or ministry want to change something that has a big impact

probably the real reason is rollout of unifi.

by introducing unifi yet tmnet doesnt want to fork out extra money to buy extra bandwidth.....

I have been barking bout unifi since long time. everyone puts a blind eye.

i already forecast drastic policy will be implemented to solve bottlenecks caused by unifi.

so, this isnt a big suprise anyway

My thought :

Malaysia been pressure by US government when come to piracy matters. Malaysia got no other choice but by doing some actions that can prove or show that Malaysia did care about piracy things... I think we should not take these things seriously as its not a serious move. Its not like we don't have another choice, do we. Furthermore we should grateful as what we have now. I do think other countries is much worse when comes to piracy matters. We still can download things, right? I think we all got better things to do rather than focus on these things...

Just want to share my thought with u guys here.

Wrong. It is a serious move, especially in a country where TV stations and Pay TV providers are made of epic fail.

Download what? Slackware Linux is only reliably obtainable through BitTorrent now (you go and look in the mirror pages. All empty directory with instructions on getting the torrent. At best you find an incomplete CD image set. Especially bothersome if you want to get the 64-bit version of Slackware, which is apparently only available as a DVD ISO and no mirror is actually carrying it). As much as I dislike using BitTorrent I ended up using it to get Slackware.

Malsingmaps is also f**ked for Malaysians - no easy way to get download.

And biggest b***h of all is that we have been lied to and have our freedom taken away. Losing something as important as freedom to express and communicate is a very serious thing.

that reminds me, even the game company of heroes patch had to be obtain through torrent, cause they(the company) LEGITLY posted their patch in torrent and user have to download through torrent to get it. is this call piracy then when the company themself ask us to download from torrent??

plus, if megaupload is block for piracy then why does LYN (which does not allow piracy discussion) here have megaupload and hotfile official thread? why not just close it down? even LYN can tell the difference between file sharing and piracy
