After my previous post and talk about piracy in Malaysia, today incident continue the entry. We were in a class, the lecturer asked us to look for a sound editing program and Adobe After Effect.

I have a CD of After Effect 6.5 and a downloaded Adobe After Effect CS3. I told this friend that I have this CD which I bought it when I was in Kuching. He was stunned for a while, and I was like, what’s wrong? What did I just said and etc etc question. He turned back to me and asked “You really go and buy the CD?” Of course we both know we’re talking about piracy, but what’s wrong with buying a CD? He answered “Just go download, it’s embarrassing to buy you know?!“, now my turn to stunned there for a while…

Let’s face it. Piracy is a crime, it has been promoted as so for the past 10 years. Instead of not joining the crime, why pointing finger to the government who didn’t work their perfect plan to stop piracy? I don’t get it. Piracy started by one man and spread like wild to millions, to really stop piracy, you can’t depend on government. Government cannot do a shit on this one, because the people are continuing it. Well, the price… I would get an original Adobe softwares IF the price of the whole set is USD350, really!
