| | Ho hum ...all well and good, but it's not like we're unaware of the piracy problem here. The fact that pirated software is still sold openly in KL shows that it isn't a stall-under-a-tree type of shady deal, there must be some sort of backing behind it. Gotta admit, the pasar-malam type dealers have been closed, can't find them too openly elsewhere.
The point is: who produces Windows, eh? Microsoft, right? Well then, is it Microsoft Malaysia? No. So the "leak" doesn't originate here. The "syndicate" must have some sort of inside person or connection or whatever. Until they clean up their act at the source, there will always be "conduits" elsewhere willing and eager to channel the illicit copies. I don't pretend to know how widespread piracy is elsewhere in the SEA region, but people on IRC from Thailand and Phillipines (at least) assure me that pirated software is easily obtainable in their countries too.

Malaysia | Re: Ho hum Oh please, any software is leaked by the overseas groups. Most of what we find here have originally being posted 1st in newsgroup. Before it spreads to irc, p2p & local pirates as well.

47100, MY | Who is the biggest pirate.. If all of you read BBC's news on their website yesterday, Malaysia was labelled as a hardcore pirate haven.
As if the Brits and the Yanks never used pirated stuffs, if my memory serves me right, USA is the biggest culprit of all. | |

Malaysia | By the way these days the school & college kids in US doesn't need to get pirated Windows & M$ Office due to the M$ settlement I think. The whole bunch of them are given free.
