Recently, due to my work nature, I was able to stumble onto sites that lists down where we can find movies online. Since this came about even without the need to search for them. I can’t help but imagine there are actually lots more of these sites around. I mean… what’s the probability of me finding one even without looking for it right?
Anyway my questions in order are:
1) Are these sites legal? (Ed Note: Surely they can’t be legal… )
2) If they are not legal, how come the Copyright or Web Hosting Providers don’t block or remove the content from their site?
3) I believe most of these movies are kept in Rapidshare or Daily Motion which allows people to upload insane amounts of data to their servers.
4) Why in the world would people want to upload movie files for others to download? What do they get out of it? Ad Revenue?
5) Why are hosting sites still allowed to host such movies if they are copyright and should not be distrubuted freely? There has to be some control like Youtube for sure.
Here’s an example of a dragonball movie on Dailymotion’s service: http://www.dailymotion.com/ultrassj4/video/x1eqzo_son-goku-video-clip-by-ultrassj4
Filesharing continues to be a legal battle between the copyright holders and pirates… Who will win? I guess only time will tell…
If you actually look around the internet, you will be able to find lots of shows like HEROES, PRISON BREAK, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, and lots more…. who needs cable anyway?

I have to say… the deployment of Windows Vista with previously purchased DELL Computers (with the ability to upgrade to Vista from XP for FREE) is excrutiatingly slow. I would have imagined they are able to send me a copy of my Vista by now. What’s taking so long and keeping them ? A latest check with the DELL site still shows that the order is still pending.
All this delay keeps me from fully utilising my machine. I don’t want to install programs now only to have to do it again when Vista comes. I’m keeping my notebook as bare as possible but as time passes, I think it’ll be more and more work WHEN and IF my version of the Vista does come. I can’t but have this funny feeling that at the end of the day, they will say, there’s something wrong with the application and that the free vista is never going to come. I think I will blow my top definately by then.
Anyway I shall continue to wait and see if they exceed their dateline of delivering out all Vistas to owners… for now… its still within their promise… but I sure wish they will expedite the process! We’re waiting you know…

My sincere congratulations to Datin Paduka Sharifah Mazlina Syed Abdul Kadir’s successful attempt in successfully completing her expedition to the North Pole. You are one strong woman and we’re definitely proud to have you as our role model. Nothing is too impossible… if there’s a will there’s a way.

 When I read about Datin Paduka Sharifah Mazlina Syed Abdul Kadir’s expedition to the North Pole, I was both excited and proud of her. I’m sure she makes us all feel proud to be tackling this adventurous, challenging and dangerous expedition.
Anyway I felt compelled to write about this but due to the lack of time recently, I would just pen down a few lines…. especially my good luck wishes to her… not that she would know but I guess many of us are supporting and cheering her from our little corner.
What more can I say except…. “Do us Proud. We know you can do it… and god speed to your expedition!”
For more information regarding this expedition, here’s the website: http://www.sharifahpole2pole.com/
