Guys, I applaud what ur doing as I believe this is a good idea as many of the issues highlighted by readers normally go wasted as the officials in-charge refused to answer them — I also strongly believe they did it on purpose bcoz after a while (in a day or two) the letter will be forgotten.

The other cool thing abt this idea is they see the same issue highlighted by different ppl in different newspapers they will have no choice (be forced) to do something abt it.

Like I said this is a good idea but before the copyright owners come after you with their lawyers and shut you down, it is probably best if you work out some deal with them to turn this into a legit website.

But that doesn’t make it anymore legal though. The intention can be good but you still have to comply to the law.

It is okay to publish a para or two and then link to the site but definitely not okay to publish verbatim even though you give credit to the source.

@Zulhilmi: thanks for the valuable feedback. At this point, we’re just concentrating on raising awareness through a centralised website. As we see it, the more publicity these letters gain, the stronger the need to demand for action from the respective service providers.

Guys,

On a unrelated matter. Can you guys republished these letters because I thot they belongs to the respective newspapers? Did you guys seek permission from them before doing so because I believe this things falls under the IP rights or something like that. If not, then they will surely come after you. Just my two-cent.

Thanks.
