Domestic Trade and ConsumerAffairs Ministry has told the public they will face prosecution and a minimum fine of RM 250,000 for illegal downloading of songs, movies and the likes. Is this really worked to prevent pirated songs and movies beng downloaded?
A fine of RM250,000 is huge amount and I don't think many people can afford to pay such amount. If the person can't pay, what would be the consequences? Jail? Most of all, can this prevented people from downloading the mentioned from internet? Moreover internet is full of such website, where it allows people to download songs and movies. What about sharing the files? Isit consider illegal as well?
Probably our country is in need of money now that they are excercising this law to generate more money from us. This law has been there for 10 years or so, why wouldn't they enforcing it then? Why now? That's why I always said Malaysia law enforcer will only take action when they feel like it, and also when things really got out of hand. Had they excercising this law long ago, probably things wouldn't get this far uncontrolled. Another issue is the more law they enforced, the more LUBANG they can CARI MAKAN. As I said, their pockets are empty and they are hungry! So anything goes now.
