This Forum is a must for Bloggers and those who are still undecided whether to start their own blogs. In Malaysia, everything you do, eat or wear will be under scrutiny and unwritten laws can be used against you as and when the authority feels like it.
The same thing is now applied for blogging. It is better for you to know the internet copyrights laws, the MCMC Acts and any other infringement you may have written in your blog that could land you in jail.
