Review on a post on Legal from My E-Commerce Blog

Copyright infridgement! Does this word sound familiar to you? The majority of our people here, (can't deny) loves musics and movies to name a few and buying the original copy of it ain't cheap. It cost around RM 50-RM80 in average for a single original piece of DVD. Instead of forking out money to purchase, it can be downloaded from several sources in the internet.

The unlawful downloading of copyrighted material and sharing of recorded music over the Internet in the form of MP3 files is more prominent now than since before the advent of the Internet or the invention of MP3 files. The truth is out there, promotional screener DVDs distributed by movie studios (often for consideration for awards) are a common source of unauthorized copying when movies are still in theatrical release. It is so cliche.

Not to mention, the evolving of technology has create a massive impact towards society. Have u been hearing of fraud commited through the website 15 to 20 years ago? It all increasingly happen since the beginning of the 21st century and it's getting worst.

Issues about legal rights also arises. Take Starbucks for example. In 1990, Starbucks has entered into the Chinese market but encountered a major problem there- an imitator by the name of Shanghai Xing Ba Ke coffee shops (loosely translated as Shanghai Starbucks). Due to the legal lawsuit filed by Starbucks, a Chinese court ordered the imitator to pay Starbucks RMB 500,000 (approximately RM 250,000) for copying Starbucks name and logo.

Now, it is our responsibilities to curb this silent crime and countries such as The Solviet Union, the USA, China and also Eastern Europe has collaborated to fight this activity.
