Mr Tim Yang. I take offence from your post. I am a Malaysian Uni of London Law grad working in a Fortune 500 Global Oil and Gas company and I am not a pirate. Branding all Malaysians to that tune is blasphemy @@! Stop making general and sweeping statements !

Hmm Tim I should ignore you. That isn’t very professional comment online especially… as a Malaysian myself I find it very offensive to be called a pirate when I do nothing of the sort. I could actually go into a whole list of things to say about certain nationalities but why stoop that low, besides name calling gets nothing achieved. It’s one thing single out one person for their own actions its another thing to paint a whole group of people with the same brush just because they happen to be of the same ‘kind’

Because, Edrei, Malaysians are pirates. Content pirates, music pirates, movie pirates, and even high-sea pirates. Arrrrr.

Folks, do what I do: ban all access from Malaysian ISPs to your websites. It’s the simplest cleanest solution. I’ve been doing it for ages because I’d get trolls from there and no worthwhile visitors. It was the best thing I ever did.

These people are not worth the minute spent typing in their link. If they have to steal content ~ and what happened to the indefinite article? ~ they won’t be able to retain reputation or sustain the effort. I’ve had people take my own content. In the end I put up a notice, in effect : TAKE THE LOT. IT’S YOURS. I’ve had to take it down because there are problems with certain types of linkage and duplicate content. But, if I were Darren, I’d ignore it. Most people know the genuine article when they see it.

Edrei Did I mention what a good job Colbert was doing over at The Gadget Blog? I wouldn't worry too much, Australian bloggers hardly ever get mentioned at all :-)

Why is it everytime we Malaysians make headlines on blogging its always not a good thing? As a Malaysian myself, I’m really sorry for idiots like this.
