It's a wake up call to the Government, hopefully! GO ANONYMOUS!

So if you have one single pirate item in your possession, that is the license to pirate everything else? Nice logic, no wonder thieves will be thieves.

I used to live on pirated software because I was a student then, software was around RM-250-300ish (this was the early 90s), and I don't earn money. Now, with OSS and alternatives, why still bother? Ubuntu is one of the more epic examples out there. Should really thanked the ad-based software development model for making available cheap to free alternatives.

And since I earn my own money I also bought 3-4 copies of original windows. The downside? I drive an almost 20 year old car it's cheaper. 40,000K cheaper than a new camry/accord in fact. And that's the money that I save to buy my flatscreen, my software and my music.

As for music, ever since I can buy original itunes track at USD0.99.. why the heck not? it's not like the old days where the only option is CD/LP/LD/DVD which were dictated by our govt taxation rate. I don't listen to the entire album anyway, so the single song purchase option was what I was waiting for.

As for piracy of movies/TV series, I find it a bit of a non-issue, as most homes now have astro, and most of the shows being downloaded are going to be shown on astro anyway, since astro is so slow when it comes to airing current episodes. Such as House MD, CSI etc. etc. And the bulk of it are college students, who have Astro at home, but not at their dorms/college apartments.

no they cant...the gov server is too slow that even local ISP takes few minutes to surf their website...

still need to pay for foreign content

why malaysia no gooding local content? why why tell me why?

maybe cuz malaysia govt not doing anything about pirated software...??

how can u sell something that isnt urs. ???

they can balik kampung where they belong. Sau pei.

Correctomundo, but then again, original software was expensive back in the day. Anyone still remembers the retail price for a MS Dos 5.0/6.22 retail pack? Or does anyone remember how much they paid for NCSA Mosaic/Netscape back then?

However, I also realise that most Malaysians rather pay 500K+ for house and 160K for car than buy everything original software, since showing off the original software licence agreement is NOT AS COOL as showing off a pair Bvlgari pants / a 200K renovation / 160+K car / cool gadgets. (even if the said gadget is jailbroken and full of pirated apps.. hey, in some circles, it's a badge of l337ness) - Note: go lepak at mamak kopitiam/warungs, there's sure to be a young teen group toting latest gadgets and showing off to their friends.

Actually, you can't show off original license. 
No one wants to bring those boxes just to show off. So uncool 

Gooding content? you kidding me? Got AF what.. Quite popular show that..

If you meant gooding content like compare House MD/Firefly/<insert favourite series here> to Gerak Khas <insert astro RIA programming list>... "Sheet, even I don't know how to answer that one"

IMO,
No gooding content because with 28million of Malaysian population, we don't have a big enough talent pool, and those that does, goes overseas already.. leaving the ___________________ ones behind.

this is trully patriotic

i shed my manly tears

IMHO, don't bother arguing with pirates. As the saying goes "Nak seribu daya, tak nak seribu dalih", Hunger for iPhone 4, no prob. Excuses for pirating, 300 page is nowhere near enough to list out why merompak is OK.
I just love those reasons btw, if a robber robs a home, he should rob EVERY home there is. 

Hackers have attacked the International Monetary Fund and Sony PlayStation Network, as well as the networks of aeronautics company Lockheed Martin Corp and Citibank in North America, amongst others.

Anonymous was blamed for the hack into the PlayStation network but a spokesman for the group has denied involvement, saying that its aims are political. Spain, however, has arrested three suspected members of the hacker group for that attack.


Sony war ended? i remember recently nintendo also get hacked but nothing important stolen..
