I've seen this coming a mile away. We all did.

What irks me is that some of these sites aren't entirely hosting copyrighted materials; I also use the listed file hosting sites to download computer mods, free-license utilities and compilation artworks from 4chan, Pixiv and deviantART. And what about obscure movies and music you'll have a hard time finding on legal music stores?

The gomen's free trade agreement with the Americans, coupled by pressure by the RIAA and MPAA and the crummy local entertainment industry, have all pressured them into imposing such blocks. The gomen wouldn't had been as bothered about it if the Yanks hadn't knocked on their door promising riches if we open our trade routes and curb piracy, but then again, it also gives our gomen the push they need to set into motion plans for covert Internet censorship. And Najib and Rais had the balls to tell us censorship of the Internets is something they won't allow; nice job contradicting yourselves.

Issue a complaint to the MCMC. And if you are 21 years old or older, give them a piece of your mind through the ballot box.

The sentiments of special interest groups do not reflect the censorship policies of governments of countries they come from. Besides, they simply call for a curb of piracy in the country, but they never specified how and probably wouldn't care what the repercussions are anyway so long the move benefits them.

Well, the gomen did offer the Aussies land for that rare earth processing facility, as well as the opportunity to dump their asylum seekers here. They've shown to be more or less willing to stoop pretty low in international dealings.
