They are daft. Piracy is not the problem. Piracy is the outcome of the problem that is the things we want cannot be obtained through legal channels.

If they block VPN, hell will break loose. My company uses VPN to connect to the HQ in Switzerland. Block? Company leaves, gomen rugi. End of story.

Yah, that's not my point. My point is if you want to stop piracy, blocking is not the correct answer. Making the item available legally is.

You're right also. both ways are correct.

Make the item legally available and educate why piracy is wrong at the same time. Educated ppl will sure choose legal.

Agreed. In fact, the rules state the opposite.

They lied to the people. I've lost all trust in them already.

Oh, they're are they ever in for it. Incurring the wrath of the citizens when election time is so close is something only someone with sponge for brains will do.

Made sense, but not a very good article. Writer did not realize that the biggest problem is that much of the material is not available in the country at all, or that only inferior version of a material is available in the country, and material not coming in fast enough. For example, we were the last to get Survivor I, which is filmed in Malaysia itself. Singapore got to watch it days after it was released, we needed to wait over a month after Singapore's airing of the final episode before it started in Malaysia. Also, Futurama already entered season 6. TV3 only aired up to Season 5 and have shown no intention to pick up season 6. And did I mention that many shows aired in Malaysia apparently have the "PAL Speedup" problem? Which can be avoided by pulling the film up to NTSC first before pulling it back down to PAL? I come to realize this while watching VOD on UniFi and comparing it to a R1 DVD from my collection playing back at the same time.

And my last example, Mythbusters is only available in Malaysia in SD. People who want it in HD are given the finger since it Discovery HD is not available here- only Discovery World HD.

Education is not good enough. We also need to make the content that people want available in the country legally and at affordable prices, and at a timely manner. And do it properly.

Deprivation results only in anger.

Wait, you're right. I mistook Season 4 for Season 5. My bad. Season 5 only received overpriced DVD releases, which are one year late no less. they also skipped episodes (iirc they skipped "Three Hundred Big Boys", which judging from the Wikipedia article, has nothing offensive in it at all)

But yes, i forgot to put that in too. They start a series and never continue or conclude it- that is one of my biggest gripes along with the random censoring. I have a long list of shows not concluded or followed up, most of the cartoons on my list has been uploaded to TVTropes under "Screwed By The Network". In fact, I've seen shows that are butchered until it made absolutely no sense at all. I like to use the Rugrats "Zoo Story" episode for that example. NTV7 chopped off scenes in that episode until it is meaningless. And what was cut? cartoon images of pigs. Since when is pigs illegal to show on TV, considering that at the time the news was about JE and the news keeps showing images of pig farms and pigs? As to how I know it was pigs, the episode was later aired uncut on Astro. Also, I was a member of a Rugrats fansite and read the full episode synopsis.

It's on Assteruk

I refuse to sign back up until they bring in the channel I've been asking for for the last three years, and bring back BBC Entertainment. I already made it clear to them: no Doctor Who and Red Dwarf, no talk!

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.
