Hey I'm amazed, dear hypocrite.
So when the time you were a student, you're okay with piracy, but now you're condemning it and want us to buy it. Have you forgotten that not all of us are rich, some are still student as well?
Based on your logic in your post above, as long as we're students = OKAY to pirate.
So I'm still a student, so who the heck cares if I want to pirate, yeah? And no, I can't even afford a phone more than RM400-500, let alone any apple products.
Remember this. Corporate fellas who are attacking consumer piracy are the same bunch of douches-bags who practice corporate piracy.
However, the issue here isn't piracy. The issue here is censorship. When the government has the power to censor or control, it will by nature refuse to give up that power.
It doesn't matter what initiated it. Censorship is something most governments have been trying to implement but implementing them would cause an uproar among the people.
Thus, they dare not touch it. So, they resort to subtle censorship. It starts with websites that give them an excuse to ban, and slowly, the list will grow into things that the government feels the need to conveniently censor, since by definition, websites that face censorship, is ambiguous, the government takes advantage of this.
It starts small, we may end up with China's Green Dam project.
