Download at your own risk
| Quote: | KUALA LUMPUR: If you download material illegally from the Internet, be prepared to fork out a minimum fine of RM250,000.
This is the warning from the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry to Malaysians who continue to illegally download songs, videos and the like.
Although this penalty was legislated more than 10 years ago under the Copyright Act, it has yet to be fully enforced.
This was because the Government was still focusing on “physical enforcement”, encompassing continuous efforts to weed out pirated DVDs, VCDs and CDs sold on the streets and their operators.
Deputy Minister Datuk S. Veerasingam said yesterday that while this remains their main priority, cracking down on Internet download offenders was also gaining momentum.
“For the past three years, we have seen a significant reduction in copyright pirates. This is due to the continuous efforts of our enforcement officers.
“We will also very soon make Internet download offenders our priority,” he said.
Veerasingam was speaking to reporters after opening the Wipo Asia-Pacific Regional Seminar on the Issues and Recent Developments of the Wipo Copyright Treaty and the Wipo Performances and Phonograms Treaty on behalf of the minister.
More than 75 participants from 11 countries are taking part in the three-day seminar.
Veerasingam said that the maximum fine for downloading material illegally from the Internet was a whopping RM500,000. |
whaddaya youse guys think.?

pirates can be minimised but trying to control download offenders, then it is a big ambition, as they should arrest the 99% of Malaysian. it is the same like trying to enforced a law against bloggers... ahhh election is near, everybody is pissing in their pants.
same goes with this, there is no legal action against FRAUD. you can committ fraud but there is no law to put you in a cage or fined. Unless its theft.
so there is a huge line separating the differences between FRAUD and THEFT. if they can control that, what makes you think they want to control the internet.

blogging and downloading copyright controlled items are two different things. and it's not 99% of ALL malaysian doing it.
people are abusing blog. hiding behind "bloggin" while actually they're distributing infringing music files. They..the blog owners.. gain 100% profit from ads since they don't have any overheads to maintain the server. Without the content, they will have no income. The problem is now, the content is not theirs to offer in the 1st place.
there are things that are offered for free and there are things that are just not!
like i-bands for example. you choose which songs you want to offer for people to download freely and which is not to be downloaded. you have control over your work (ideally). not so in those other pirate sites.
There are ways to minimize illegal activities over the bandwidth but what ever it is, I think it'd be best to start with a series of awarness campaign instead of legal action.
