Copyright Warning On Ring Tones
By Rosli Abidin Yahya
Bandar Seri
Begawan - Local suppliers of ring tones need to ensure that
they were not selling pirated products downloaded from the Internet.
Because of copyright infringement,
three mobile phone dealers in Malaysia were put out of business two
days ago for downloading songs and selling them as ring tones.
Enforcement officers from the
Malaysian Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs seized a
laptop from each of the three dealers which contained 7,000 songs
downloaded from the Internet.
Local consumers alleged some musical
ring tones available here may be unlicenced and therefore illegal.
They urged for local companies to
check the legality of the ring tones to avoid being sued by composers
and musical companies who are the legal owners of the musical
compositions. -- Courtesy of Borneo
