July 27, 2008

Its kinda Funny that i posted before

it would mean that online publishing does not fall under the publishing law YET

and now this comes , from AlQabas Newpaper [Arabic][link]

Couple of important stuff to notice ( aka Points that would throw most internet users in jail )

ما العقوبات القانونية التي حددها المشروع، فقد بين العثمان ان كل من انتفع من دون وجه حق عن طريق الشبكة المعلوماتية أو إحدى وسائل تقنية المعلومات بخدمات الاتصالات أو قنوات البث المسموعة أو المرئية أو أي خدمة أخرى يعاقب بالحبس بما لا يتجاوز السنة وبغرامة لا تجاوز ألف دينار أو بإحدى هاتين العقوبتين.

AlOthman Explained that all who benefited from the unlawful Usage of Internet or one of the other means of information technology services to use communications channels or media broadcasting channels ( audio or video ) or any other service will be punished by imprisonment not exceeding year and a fine not exceeding one thousand dinars Or one of these two penalties

and something for the MPAA

ل من نشر او نسخ عن طريق الشبكة المعلوماتية او احدى وسائل تقنية المعلومات مصنفات فكرية او ادبية او ابحاث علمية او ما في حكمها بدون وجه حق يعاقب بالحبس مدة لا تجاوز سنة وبغرامة لا تجاوز الف دينار او باحدى هاتين العقوبتين، فاذا كان النشر او النسخ بقصد التسويق او الربح تكون العقوبة الحبس مدة لا تجاوز سنتين وبغرامة لا تجاوز 3 الاف دينار او باحدى هاتين العقوبتين.

  2. That would be all Kuwaiti people will be thrown in jail.

    These laws are just for show off. exactly like the (DON’T USE CELL PHONES WHILE DRIVING) law. which is totally ignored by the people and I think by our government too.
