Illegal Downloading!!!

This morning, when I open up The Star's newspaper and turn to Tech's section, I found a quite shocking news. It happen in Singapore lately but I'm not sure will it expand to Malaysia. The news regarded about a company named Odex who had recently won a rights to track those downloaders downloading anime illegally from the net.

While this happened in Singapore, Starhub's subscriber is the first victim's of Odex. Odex had requested from Starhub to list down and identify 1000 subscribers that accussed to had illegally downloading anime.

What will happen in the future when Odex could gain the rights to get the same from Tmnet, Streamyx, Jaring or any other broadband in Malaysia. No more anime download. The worst is what will happen if Odex wanted some poor-living in Malaysia to pay the SGD5000 fines?? Could we afford it??

More news on here.

But it's quite impossible for them to come over Malaysia so fast. So don't worry. Keep on downloading from your trusted sources.

Here's an idea--pay for the freaking content that someone else's more masterfully creative mind has rendered accessible to you for your pleasure. His/her intellectual property is a commodity, and s/he has a right to be compensated...
