This may not come as a surprise for those that live in Malaysia. The government has now blocked 10 websites that it said it will. I am not a fan of the government, I have said it time and time again, but this last straw really is outright stupid and unacceptable. What is going on in their head when they decided to blocked this sites? They know they going to lose support from the people, what a dick move.
The main reason for the blocked are said to be because it wants to stop piracy. I can understand the noble cause, but let us get the facts straight. Fact is thepiratebay.org is not illegal in US. Fact is some of the website that they blocked are mostly file database website, which is perfectly legal to use by the user of the internet under the terms of the owner of the websites. Fact is, we don't download local movie, we all about supporting our local act. Fact is, by doing this, you just making yourself look bad.
Artistes of course support this, though most of them just jump into the bandwagon, without ever knowing the overall facts. They said that this will prevent piracy, hell no. Do you guys know that most of the pirate songs don't come from the websites listed? If you guys want to stop piracy, stop doing a 1 hit wonders, and start doing something worth listening to. Please don't blame others on your own doing.
Here's a theory on the real reason why they want to do this, first of all, they just fell like they can, people with power always want to show that power. ALWAYS. Secondly, they want to limit the traffic use of the internet, because they want to hog all of them for themselves. Thirdly, it's a peer "pressure", yeah, you know what I meant.
They are ways to bypass all the restrictions, but the fact remain that this is a low move that undermine us as a human being and our rights. We will survives this, we always does. The question is, will the government?
