Less customer = good for me. Less idiots.
Anyway as for govt, sure I've seen myself one person quite high up having those files. But do they download them in the office? No. Just with private corporation, they have firewalls. Think they can go to all those websites in the first place? I may not know if  they do block or not, but torrents are certainly out of the picture.

With all that said, just because the EMPLOYEES are doing illegal shit, that gives you permission to do so?
Another idiotic comparison. How does Google have anything to do with piracy? They're just a search engine that index links automatically. Do they promote piracy? No. Heck if I recall there was a news Google was called to actually block some piracy shit. Not from it searches though. I think it was filtering for their new quick search or something.

The point is, Google is not related directly to piracy, those sites are. They are either the link provider or the file provider themselves. BIG difference there. File hoster not deliberately and as far as I know, they will take down few files that probably was reported. But having mainly used for piracy here in Malaysia doesn't exactly bode well with service providers.
You are in denial. Tell me the good usages of those file hoster other than getting illegal pirated products? I see one person exchanging files from colleagues but how many people actually work with that big size of files on a daily basis? Go to the premium account seller thread. Ask ANYONE in that thread what are they using it for. I'm sure you'll have a hard time finding one with legal usage.

You cannot blame goverment , they can do nothing because they were pressure by software and movie industries like hollywood or tvb for allowing their citizen to view free video and use crack software freely.They need to do something else big things can happen.We already very lucky because cyber law not really very stringent , other advance country early already implement this , didn't you see so many torrent site being strip down already?Example like mininova , our Malaysian still so ignorant and dunno what happen in the world and now continue to complain.

Added on June 10, 2011, 1:41 pmIf they really wan earn $$ through this way , early they already ban facebook la , and then call you all go use malaysia social networking site http://www.rilek.net/sn/ , and force you all to pay and use it , like that they earn more la.Why din they do so because they nt blocking those warez site to earn $$ ,but because they want stop piracy due to pressure by those industries.Facebook also doesnt contain any piracy stuff and it's free and just a site where people socialize , that's why it still running.If you go china they ban facebook ,that's their own goverment decision , but not because facebook say they din pay to use and use piracy facebook so goverment ban

Like that i think killing people also not illegal , but why goverment say it's illegal , why can't i've my own view but instead need to follow their rules??

I dont agree with the action taken by MCMC and Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism's Enforcement Division (DTCCED). First, DTCCED doesnt have the right to declare the files hosting sites as illegal. Only the Federal Court of Malaysia has the right to do so. Second, this is CLEARLY ILLEGAL action taken by MCMC and DTCCED because this is not about compliance with law. There isnt any declaration by Federal Court of Malaysia that all the listed sites are illegal in any sense. Therefore, this is a form of censorship and contradict the no censorship policy.
Therefore, MCMC and Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism's Enforcement Division SHOULD RETRACT the blocking order.

so are we still going to cry here..or take REAL action complaining to the authorities?

The best way to counter piracy was to offer more legal, legitimate or original online contents, like Netflix, Hulu, Vudu etc at the US. Blocking file hosting service like Fileserve, Megaupload etc simply because it hold non-legitimate contents post by it users is like banning storage media like hard drive, flash drive, memory card etc because users also can store non-legitimate contents in it.

I hope the SKMM would reconsider their counter measure on fighting piracy with a more open minded way. (but of course if the current matter have anything to do with piracy at all)

Thanks for reading.

It is combating act of piracy not internet censorship. Read it. A censorship is done on something legal, this is done based on something illegal.

The problem is, is it the correct way of combating piracy? They're choosing the HARDEST way to combat piracy; through internet while physical piracy still runs rampat at most pasar malam, roadside and even shopping malls. In the end, its probably TMNet not happy most of it user are hogging all the bandwidth with pirated materials.

See lah youi all so big mouth. Now I also susah.

What does that have anything close to do with anything I've said?

election coming soon? u know who not to vote for..

Ultrasurf?

I still can access. Not using google dns. Maybe they only block for google dns?

For those who can't change DNS, try to change it in your router/modem.

this is bullshit.... totally bullshit.... tut tut tut...

they cannot block any web.... this is not comply with msc act right???

the should block the porn website instead of that websites...

Do yall think VPN will be block later on ?

Can anyone tell me which VPN client is reliable? Thanks.

This sudden blocking is making me sick.

What happened to the promise made that  the internet would never be censored?

LIARS. Look, I'm not one to believe anything, but come on!

Here I am, doing my research for a paper I have to present, and some of the notes are on some of the sites, in PDF.

And guess what I CAN'T download them.  (well, if you must know, ofcourse I did the whole DNS thing, but still, very inconvenient).

And they wonder why the majority of votes are slipping away. Morons. I'm using it to freakin' STUDY.

While you're at it take the away the internet altogether. Send us back to the ice age.

I wonder what would happen if those Anonymous dudes actually manage to do the hacking.

Now, excuse me while I continue cursing on every site I can find.

If I may add, the immediate question is, does MCMC has the discrete power to decide & declare which site is illegal, then give discrete order to block without going some kind of house debate and/or court decision?

I really hope this is not another case of power abused, if it happend once, it will happen again.
Soon we probably can only access www.XXX.my only, or perhaps SKMM is the only ISP here ......

It seem like the present governing bodies only interested in blocking, they have no interest to understand & analyse why Malaysian tend to download, and why many others do not come & download from us.

We import more than export, this is the fact now. But what have the government done to increase & improve our local contain to attract others?

This useless blocking technique not only distance us away from the rest, it further discourage & drive away many local contain development.

SKMM, please look at a bigger picture, you don't own the world, you just have to work with the world. You are simply asking for more trouble by keep blocking other people sites, please wake up !!

hello. is there a way to bypass the block on celcom wireless broadband? i've tried google DNS and openDNS but no dice. still cant access the blocked website.

Is it really gave assurance?

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?
