Tak banyak ... 2800 songs = 280 CDs = saman RM112,000, hahahaaaa.

 

[devil9]

safest still usb pen drive or ipod (for now) i guess coz they unable to verify source of song download.

better still ipod even safer coz we can just say "download dari apple store, semua original apa..." & if they say "ipod pun bole sync dgn pirated mp3....just act stupid & "ask bole ke? salesman cakap kena beli fr apple store semua benda"...

at least DVDs they can be taught how to differentiate between original vs pirated DVD & material wise

hahaha.....

correct me if i am wrong but until the law is gazetted which it isn't the authorities got no business issuing a summons for private consumption of pirated cds.
