Levy on Blank CD-R? What else.?

Firstly, they propose levy on foreign film. Now they are going to impose levy on BLANK CD-R??

"The Music Council of Malaysia (MMM) wants the Government to impose a levy on blank CD-Rs. It is concerned over the loss in revenue to the music industry whenever customers make copies of music CDs. [Source: The Star, Malaysia]"

Thanks to our retarded MMM (should called it Moronic Music Council of Malaysia) Secretary, Ong Peng Chu. Once the looser can't stop piracy, they will point their finger at consumer and start complaining how the music industry went downhill.

"The Music Council of Malaysia (MMM) called on the Government to impose a levy of 0.5 per cent on blank recordable compact discs (CD-Rs). The money would be used to ‘further develop the local music industry, such as funding more shows by artistes or antipiracy programmes"

Let's don't talk about original local music CD, if you see your own music being sell in hawker center or beside the street, you should be proud of yourself. If you can't find one, thats mean you really suck! People out there already fed up with that kind of support local product kind of shit, it always end up either they want to vomit blood or they curse your great great grand father's daughther's son's aunty's cousin's sister. ( Great example : Legend Of Red Curse)

Furthermore, CD-R is just the media to store data. What kind of levy shit that you wanna impose if people just want to backup their file for work?

"We believe two out of every three CD-Rs sold (in the country) are used for the copying of audio-visual material,” said Ong Peng Chu, MMM secretary."

They believe...? Believe means to expect or suppose. It is not a evidentiary fact. Neo died because he believe he is the One. But you are not the One.
