What's Legal and What isn't? |
|
Whether you share movies via peer-to-peer networks
or sell counterfeit DVDs on the street, you are a
movie thief whose actions carry serious legal
consequences.
Malaysia's laws and the country's obligations under
international treaties exist to stop people from
stealing valuable copyrighted material. Law
enforcement authorities in Malaysia and globally are
committed to protecting copyrighted material because
creative works such as films and television programs
are as valuable as any other type of property.
MFACT and its member companies employ a
multi-pronged approach to fighting copyright theft
that includes educating people about the
consequences of piracy, taking action against
Internet thieves, cooperating with law enforcement
authorities around Malaysia to root out pirate
operations, and encouraging the development of new
technologies that ensure films and television
programs can be made available legally over the
Internet and via other digital media. As an
industry, we are working hard to protect our
creative works.
