Downloading in Singapore
Downloading in Singapore
I am told that downloading software, movies, music in Singapore in illegal.
Does the police and the telecom really monitor the internet and catch those who break the law all the time? or just one paper regulation to prevent the piracy action as required by the world trend?
Thanks for answering hte questions.

Let's be clear. I download everything from Audible.com and iTunes. It is completely legal. Music, books, TV, etc... no problems at all.Jedi wrote:Downloading is illegal everywhere, but that's not stopping the millions of people who are doing it from doing it. The number of people prosecuted is minuscule compared to the number downloading.
