Beware of downloads!
If you are my readers from Malaysia, please beware of downloading illegal materials from Internet, esspecially those pirated musics and movies and for sure softwares. A serious warning from the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry:
If you download material illegally from the Internet, be prepared to fork out a minimum fine of RM250,000.
This penalty was legislated more than 10 years ago under the Copyright Act and “We will also very soon make Internet download offenders our priority,†he said. The maximum fine for downloading material illegally from the Internet was a whopping RM500,000.
My two cents
As my opinion, we must respect to the intellectual property while seeking for free things! Hence I would like to call on all of you here to support Open Source projects and encourage the freedom of using software for the next generation by using Linux.
While for musics and movies, anybody can tell me how to get legal source from Internet? Will this warning stop you downloading from Internet?
