Review on A Post of Piracy in Malaysia from My E-Commerce Blog

Allow me to first justify the disadvantages of pirated software:
The software can get you into a lot of trouble in lawsuit, you could in fact face imprisonment or a heavy fine, from using various type of illegal software. 
Pirated software has no guarantee, warranty or refund policy. It could stop working at any time. 
Pirated versions of software have a tendency to be full of bugs, they are very hard to setup and you will not be able to get access to any critical updates. 
The ruin of ethics of citizens. 


It is better to get rid from piracy problem. After reading the post, I wonder how long does it needs to take to banish piracy in Malaysia. Everybody knows that piracy problem is very serious and critical in Malaysia. According to the blog, our government is fighting the piracy problem through enforcement and education. Through the enforcement, policemen need to have more operations to raid companies that use illegal software as well as the illegal vendors who sell the pirated software. The offenders are all around in Malaysia, and they are in a large amount of number, notice that there are so many pirated software can be found in night markets, shopping malls, cyber cafes, and in Malaysian houses. Even though the offenders do being caught in red by the policemen, this illegal activity is still mushrooming very promptly. How sad it is for the policemen and for Malaysian citizen? By the way, we have not yet considered the matter that lots of the policemen who take bribe (duit kopi) when executing operation. Moreover, the cyber law is also weak to encounter the piracy problem in the cyber world. It seems useless to combat piracy problems, however, actions are better taken than not

The targeted groups such as professionals, companies, public and IT malls are to be educated to understand the importance of respecting Intellectual Property. My point of view is that the youngsters should be educated the most as they are controller in the future, aren't they? The importance of respecting Intellectual Property, consequences of expanding piracy problem should be instilled when they are young and let them to change in the coming days. 

Every cloud has a silver lightning, may the problem can be settled down as much as possible and may Malaysia becomes better and better.

    I agree with you, there is pirated software everywhere. It is
    very hard to stop the activity. I had also bought pirated CD
    before as it is really really expensive to but the original.
