Yesterday MalaysiaKini indicated that our Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs will wage a war against local pirated computer video games peddlers together with foreign anti-piracy groups.
I would assume that the foreign anti-piracy groups are members of the Business Software Alliance organization or commonly known as BSA. This particular organization is quite established. Its members are well known commercial computer software producers such as Adobe, Apple, Autodesk, Avid, Bentley Systems, Borland, CA, Cadence Design Systems, Cisco Systems, CNC Software/Mastercam, Dell, EMC, Entrust, HP, IBM, Intel, McAfee, Microsoft, Monotype Imaging, PTC, SAP, Siemens PLM Software, SolidWorks, Sybase, Symantec, Synopsys, and The MathWorks.
Don’t play a fool with them, folks!
I would like to raise a question the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs. Would this war-waging exercise include raids on those peddlers over at Low Yat Plaza?
Those peddlers over at Low Yat Plaza really puzzled me. It seems that they were not at all perturbed with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer’s warnings or raids in the past. They continue to reign ever supreme and I can see that their businesses have flourished into big time money making ventures!
I don’t know about you folks but I smell something fishy about those peddlers over at Low Yat Plaza. There is something funny going on over there.
If I don’t know any better, I would say that they are being protected by somebody. There has to be some kind of an underground syndicate involved here.
If the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs is really serious in combating software piracy, they should work together with our ACA on this. This is not a small time crisis really. It may involve people in high places! This is big!
By the way folks, do you know that BSA will reward whistleblowers up to RM20,000 for reporting any genuine case of software piracy here in Malaysia?
