No Pirated Software in Low Yat Plaza

Filed in: Malaysia, Technology — March 17th, 2007

When I went to Together Gather Blogger Party, I also visited Low Yat Plaza with my younger brother. We discovered that there is no more pirated software selling in Low Yat Plaza.

There were a few of pirated software shops in Low Yat Plaza. All of them were closed down and replaced by new shops when we visited. The new shops were selling some computer accessories. We cannot get pirated software in Low Yat Plaza anymore.

Now, where can I buy genuine software? I do not see any software shop…

Dogs help fighting against piracy

Few days ago, The Star reported that The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs got new helpers, two well-trained dogs, to detect optical discs in mailed packages.

Good dogs. :)

    No pirated software?

    But if you have the $$$, bear do not see why not you pay up? No need to deal with pirates.

    Alot of professional such as those in the photo shops uses original Photoshops on macs. Some friends bear knows uses original photo editors in additon to the ones that comes with the camera (bear still use paint, kpaint, gimp). But many now supplement their software with opensource software such as openoffice. Bear do not see a reason not to use opensource apps, bcos it is good enough for the job, just use it.

    Seriously, who needs it when you can get non-pirated, at no cost, copylefted GPL software that guarantees your freedom to modify and share the apps??

    Try bittorrent fedora from http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/
    New FC7 release coming soon. You can chose ubuntu, gentoo, redhat if u like. It is a start to alot of softwares.

    appy komputing.
