Downloading in Singapore

[ericchuu]

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.

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.

Let's be clear. I download everything from Audible.com and iTunes. It is completely legal. Music, books, TV, etc... no problems at all.

We're talking about a different kind of downloading. Of course downloading of purchased content is legal everywhere.

Huh, And I thought downloading meant downloading.

Well I guess you could say there are 2 types of downloading, one which you have the right to the content you are downloading and the other where you don't.

What is it with newbies and asking question of posters who have posted in two years? Don't they ever look at the date of the posts?

Course one is still around except with a different nick. Don't know about the other.
