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.

so is XEDO the start of all this?

yeap. as I said many months back during the pre ODEX catching days, ODEX's Anti Piracy campaign is just a "Test-Bed" experiment. now it has been seen "sucessful" Other countries will follow and commence their operation to clamp down on piracy too.

someone needs to crank the gears of an unstoppable machine to make things happen.

Although this penalty was legislated more than 10 years ago under the Copyright Act, it has yet to be fully enforced.
see, thats what I say liao, it takes someone to do something..... for 10 years, malaysia didnt even give a damn, then when Odex does the whole clamping down, malaysia see the effectiveness and now begin to dust off their law books and start enforcing....

And Besides, Malaysia is just next to singapore, surely they are also gonna follow the neighbour too, if my neighbour can do this, why can't I be better at it, to be better, lets increase our fine to RM250K!!!

HOLYSHIT, indeed, if singapore can fine our people 5K, we can do even better!

Annoucing a crackdown is one thing, but doing it is another. Malaysia has said a lot about other stuff - bigger problems like graft and corruption - but how effective have they been in clampnig down those? Singapore is easier to control because of the size and the way it's pro-business.

CactusAvenue · 06-12-2007, 09:19 AM

Malaysia might've been influenced to start its own campaign due to the Odex saga here. But this enforcement has very little to do with anime in particular, its just one part of "video".

Well.. Malaysia is a big place.. good luck catching them all
