So when will the party start?

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.

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

There is something missing; MONEY. For the equivalent amount of product used, there's an equivalent amount of money for the owner. But, (example) there's 100 people using although only 50 items worth of money in their account. Another thing is, when you purchased something, you buy a license for usage. If you're using an item without the permission/license, what does that make you? Awesome?

Anyway the term is not important. I used 'rompak' just because the Malay translated of piracy is 'Cetak Rompak'. What is important is it is illegal. What's the point of arguing if it is already stated by law as illegal?

I am not questioning the legality of said file hoster but rather the usage of Malaysian of the said websites. If there were none that use for illegal purposes then there wouldn't be a problem right? But there are. And the bulk of complainers are of from the piracy crowd. I'll shut up if the complain is based on legal usage, but shouting FREEDOM when all they do is piracy? I can only say padan muka to this people although I do feel sympathy to those that uses it legally.


Since you are insisting on comparing with physical product with digital ones, let me give an example of a car. You buy a car, go ahead. Do what you want. Buy an Inspira change it to Lancer. You own it so yes, you can do anything to it. But is it really ANYTHING? Let say I like the MIVEC engine. So can I use the design on my car without paying Mitsu the license/royalty? Can they sue you? Yes they can, because while you own the physical stuff, they still do own the design patents. Same as buying software.

However, as I said before, it doesn't matter what the argument is, is it legal or illegal? Answer that question.

There is no taubat or repent in his dictionary, so don't bother.

Good question. Why haven't they? Now before I begin saying anything, I wish not to repeat a history of argument I made a few days back where one is barking and another is meowing. All my earlier post are largely on illegal act of piracy itself, NOT the act of SKMM to ban those websites.

I have made another post in another thread on why they resort to such methods (since that is your argument). My answer is simple, lazy arses. They're taking the easy way out assuming after complaints by TM since their customers are hogging bandwidth for illegal usage. So with the mask of act against piracy, they're blocking such websites with very little intention to actually combat piracy. I for one am more happy if they go and sue each pirates. IIRC there was a case of someone being sued for USD$2000 for every single mp3 he download. Boy now that is awesome.

I do and my sympathies to these people. Although you don't seem to read either. They are valid, sure. But my point is padan muka towards the pirates. Not towards the one with legal usage. Although one funny things is, whenever this kind of argument pops up, they will ALWAYS use these poor people for their own greedy self. I'm not talking about you per se, but there are a few people quoting these people just to worm off that they want a way out so they can continue pirating. Sad really using other people misfortune for their own advantage. Kinda like torrent and linux distro. I mean, how many people even torrent linux distro? And yet it never fails to be mentioned. I myself get it from direct download as quite a few distro provides direct downloads.

Do you need to be a saint to say to another human being to not conduct such illegal activity?

Ask the insane /k/tards that seems to be supporting this act.

It doesn't really matter. Money will be spent for whatever the reason may be. Now who still thinks all these Anonymous hacking are awsum?

This. I've been saying this a few times. If they bring down Malaysian governments website, it will the govt all the more reason to spend MORE money uselessly. 'Yo my kroni, here RM100mil for Anonymous counter-measure'. All thanks to the supporters here.

Aren't they already (farking idiot that is by what I see most /k/ portray them)? They'll spend on money on every chance they get, so why should you give them more reason to do so?

This is the most screwed up excuse ever. What software do you actually use on a daily that is not sold on store shelves? Most software is not sold in store shelves anyway. Its all digital purchase/downloads. And don't tell me you do not have the means to buy online as these days there quite a few banks offering debit cards, all you need is a saving account or maybe none for some cards. If security is your concern, make a new card with only the necessary amount for purchase. If you think its a hassle, its just an excuse.

Now, price difference. As we all know our car are heavily taxed, paying 300% for each car. But do you see anyone backing up from it? Some does and buy Proton but does everyone? No and they're not exactly rich either, just enough to pay the loans. They still buy at those exorbitant prices. But when games or software we are paying at the actual price, for some reason currency exchange plays a role. Not to mention only a few hundred difference compared to the few tens of thousands of a car. And what about those iphones, ipads, etc2? It costs us RM1500-RM2500 for an iPhone, and yet a lot of people still uses it despite the Americans are paying USD$649 (at maximum retail price). See the hypocrisy here?

Non-govt also being attacked?
