Illegal streaming can be very expensive in Malaysia. TorrentFreak reported this country has passed amendments to copyright laws that punish them who activate pirate streaming. People who offer streaming services and devices that are “prejudiced” copyright owners can face a fine of equivalent to $ 2,377 or more, prison sentences of up to 20 years, or both.

Updated law also prevents companies from participating in streaming piracy or tolerating their presence. Unless the manager can show that they do not know the violation and take “fight” to stop such actions, they will be considered guilty of relevant crime.

Copyright laws around the world often include digital piracy, but some of them are designed to overcome download and other, older bootleging forms. It is a problem for Malaysia, who cannot use copyright actions against people who sell piracy-oriented streaming devices until the high court decision allows these cases.

Strict punishment potential, and words show it may be difficult for some companies to avoid attachment to evil employees. How much perseverance is needed, for example? However, this shows how several countries can specifically discuss streaming through laws, and maybe help users and countries driven by other copyrights worry about their neighbors may tolerate illegal internet services.
