Honestly I don’t mind either way. However if the government want to do this then they MUST do everything within their power to make sure what people want to watch is available. No more channel monopoly for assteruk and UniFi, must make both providers bring in a channel when rakyat demand it no questions, and must make service platform-agnostic and priced affordably. In other words, make it so Unifi can have Disney Junior and Assteruk can have CBeebies, triple play must decouple- people must be able to subscribe and use assteruk IPTV with UniFi Line and UniFi PlayTV with Assteruk/Time line, and the price must actually make sense and be affordable (ie one package cost RM15 instead of RM49). Also, if people demand Discovery Kids channel be returned, return the damn channel!

BUT, can expect: .. making it an offence to sell boxes installed with apps to access stuff illegally; UK already taken several to court. .. making legit service providers improve blocks, recognition and verification to allow only legit users. .. blocking, closing down, arresting illegit servers, owners. europe is working on a law to do all of the above... singapore may follow...? |

latest relevant news to the topic:
QUOTE Article 13 PASSED: Huge blow for Kodi add-on and Pirate Bay users in major EU vote ARTICLE 13 - a controversial change to European copyright laws - has been passed in an EU vote today, and it could have major knock-on effects for the internet. By DION DASSANAYAKE PUBLISHED: 18:37, Tue, Mar 26, 2019 | UPDATED: 19:19, Tue, Mar 26, 2019 Article 13 has been passed in a vote by the European Parliament, and the news could have massive implications for Kodi add-on and Pirate Bay users. Both Article 13 and Article 11 - which critics have said could be the ‘death of the internet’ - were passed by 348 votes to 274. It’s feared that Article 13 could see websites that allow user generated content start implementing filters to prevent copyrighted material being uploaded. If they don’t then it could lead to these sites being liable for copyright infringement. Not only would this impact websites such as YouTube and Twitter but it would also hit sites like The Pirate Bay as well as third-party illegal Kodi add-ons. Illegal Kodi add-ons - which are made by developers not affiliated with Kodi - pull together illegal streams from across the internet. Sites being compelled to add upload filters would likely significantly reduce the amount of illegal streams illicit add-ons can turn to. Article 11, meanwhile, would enable publishers to charge fees to platforms like Google or Facebook when they show snippets of their articles. Article 13 has been passed in a major EU vote, big Kodi addon and Pirate Bay blow (Image: EXPRESS) YouTube said the final version of the EU Copyright Directive - which Article 13 and 11 are part of - were “an improvement” on previous suggestions. But they said it could have “unintended consequences that may harm Europe’s creative and digital economy”. While Julia Reda, an MEP from the Pirate Party, said: “Dark day for internet freedom: The @Europarl_EN has rubber-stamped copyright reform including #Article13 and #Article11. “MEPs refused to even consider amendments. https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/scienc...ate-Bay-EU-vote https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/scienc...t-is-article-13 |

QUOTE(Micky78 @ Apr 2 2019, 08:08 PM) any idea what the so call MCMC standards? not sure... but looks like it's the SIRIM sticker....?QUOTE “These consumers may be unaware that the communications devices or equipment produced are required to be certified by SIRIM for use in Malaysia, according to the laws and regulations of the country,” The use of certified devices is governed under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (CMA) and the Communications and Multimedia (Technical Standards) Regulations 2000. ... To be certain that your communications devices are certified and adhere to Malaysian standards, check that it has a SIRIM certification sticker. You can also download the SIRIM Check Your Label app to check if a device is certified safe to be used in Malaysia. https://www.soyacincau.com/2018/12/25/sirim...nications-mcmc/ at this time, many things unclear... we wait for local authorities to clarify.. and wait to see how that court case will go. in europe, there had been numerous warnings of some boxes catching fire, and some containing trojan horses to steal yr personal data. |

I think most of the people here confused bout the box itself (hardware) and the content/channel licencing.
Yes, MCMC is acting more like SIRIM and control mostly on the multimedia and communication standards, which I had also seen TVBOX which approved by MCMC, with the stickers on it. Hence, some of you, your logic is right, if MCMC would have to ban TVBOX, they shall also ban the rest of the Android based device, like smart phone. Now, the main issue is not from the device itself, but the content loaded inside, which is not from proper channel, copyright and license not paid. If the country is going to ban all these so call "illegal" contents, what and how they can control on this? Rather than just focusing on the hardware(box).. |

QUOTE(puchongite @ Apr 15 2019, 03:39 PM) Which are the boxes which carries sirim cert/logo ? good question.at this time, i think only those high value imported and catches customs' attention to pay duty, gets a sticker. if u order online one at rm200 and another at rm1000, i think only the 1k one is hauled up, goes thru inspection and custom. all others imported in bulk, i doubt the importer does or is asked to do anything. come think of it, is there a sirim ticker on a new mobile phone or tablet at the stores? i dun remember seeing one! |
