Another thing is, (please don't be angry with me in saying this,) people in Malaysia lack education and realization in how bad piracy is.

1) Since our currency has lack of power, everything becomes expensive. Thus people resulting to pirates.

2) People in Malaysia seems to can't fathom to respect other people's hard work and how expensive for the staffs in making the movies/dramas/tv etc. Imagine you work hard on a project, and somebody just steal your project and make profit on it.

3) People in Malaysia don't care when illegal sellers profit without the true effort. Illegal sellers, they didn't put that much effort, they just steal other people's products, but they earn lots of money.

4) People in Malaysia don't even care, as long as they themselves profit in easy way.
So that's the lack of education part. Also, the environment itself plays a part. If you go to a stricter country, say Japan, they will condemn you for using illegal things and your disrespect towards other people hard work.

That's said, I don't know what's the solution. Our currency is poor, but we want to live like the richest country.. Sorry if I'm mistaken.

There's solution is encourage those international legitimate providers like Netflix, Hulu, HBO, etc. to offer their service here at affordable price. I think a lot of people are beginning to realise this and that is why Netflix has been quite successful here.

Look at Steam. There are still some people who download/torrent games but today pirated PC gaming is more or less gone.

Nowadays, hardly any good single player games. The good single player games are all on consoles like Uncharted series and Last of Us.

It will not work 100%. Malaysian style is hangat-hangat tahi ayam. In the beginning, there will be major clampdown but after 1 year, nobody is enforcing and everything is back to normal. If TV box is banned, people just need to buy chromecast and and watch using handphone. Unless they ban handphone as well, there's no way piracy problem will go away. Are they also going to go after those who install satellite dish especially those from East Malaysia too? Over there, the big satellite dish are everywhere and so obvious but nobody care.

What is needed is make legitimate services such as Netflix affordable and at the same time we can access similar content like USA. Why are we getting crippled Netflix unless using VPN just to protect Astro.
