Legal

The legal ramification of internet usage become more strictly from years to years. Due to the efforts by the Internet law enforcer, more and more of the Internet spammers and hackers has been arrested. The most obvious example is the arrest of “Spam King”, Robert Soloway. There are also other new laws for cyber café. In the point of view of the users, the new rule has because more inconvenience to the customers and also limited the potential growth of cyber café. In other countries such as China and US, they are more concentrate working on new law to minimize the illegal downloads of video, music, and also computer software.

Malaysia’s government has launched a lot of large operation to seize those illegal companies that provided the sources of downloadable software. As the government tried to eliminating the sources for piracy, there are many people that still ignoring their efforts especially the public. The new rule for cyber café has restricted a lot of activities including gaming activities. The main reasons of people went to cyber café is because of the lagging of internet service at home and also gaming with the other people. Since government try to protect the internet usage, this has cause more problem to users than benefit the others. The legal action that enforced to the home-based internet usage such as cutting of the internet connection is not a wise move to more internet secure situation. Even some of the hackers can hack into the others personal computer to perform illegal actions such as illegal downloads and stealing identities. Common users do not have knowledge to prevent being hacked. The government should point their fingers on those hackers but not innocent users. They should concentrate on how to track and punish the hackers.

Although there are a lot of critiques pointed to the government internet enforcers, but they are still doing the right action to arrest and jailed those spammers before they cause more damages. The illegal internet investment schemes also have been cracked down.
