I am i-City Portal fan. I like to use it to find the thing that I want to buy in Sungai Petani. It is the most complete business directory in Sungai Petani for the moment. I used to search product that I want to buy from there. For example, when I want to buy my new mobile phone, I will use their service to find mobile product at telecommunication @ i-City Portal. And their search function is also easy to use.
Okay… Back to the topic. I discover another new company website - SmartBuy which also provide about the same service as i-City Portal does. Guest what? SmartBuy copied i-City Portal’s contents for its own use. Come on… Be creative a little bit. Don’t just simple copy and paste. Change something or enhance it. You can copy others’ stuff if you have their permission else leave a link back to their website and state that you copy from there. That should be the right way in Internet world.
I know that piracy is high in Malaysia. But we still need to respect others’ intellectual property. Cannot just simply copy and paste. Agree?
Below are some pages that SmartBuy copied. There might be more which taken from other website…

Updated - Please read my latest post about Advertlets ~ Advertlets.com - Beware of this online advertising company
Advertlets… What is this? Never heard of it. Advertlets is an Asian blog/weblog advertising network that offers the remarkably sensible proposition of targeted, unintrusive advertising that benefits the online advertising and blogger community, as well as their readers.
I joined this on 28 May 2007. Advertlets is kinda new to me. I also joined another Malaysia’s advertising company which called itself “Asia’s First Blog Advertising Community” on 23 May 2007. Both of them still Beta stage. It is a good start for Malaysian’s company in advertising world. Hopefully, we can go further to Asia or even world wide in serving advertisement. Malaysia Boleh!!!
Why signed up with Advertlets? Of course, it is to earn more pocket money for blogger like me. 
Besides, it pay in Ringgit Malaysia (RM). I like it because I can cash out my earning after reach RM100 compare to Google Adsense which pay in USD that required more than 100 USD in order to get the payment (some more need to wait for the cheque from US and bank in also need time to process foreign cheque). That will certainly take some time for those low traffic website (like mine :P). By the way, did I mention that Advertlets required 0 minimum unique visit per day compare to other that required at least 20 minimum. He… He… My account show RM0.20 earning after 2 days of showing its advertisement. It is a good start for me. The other company still nothing after serving for week. And it did not have ad to serve at my website for the moment. 
I hope that Advertlets has given referral bonus to us. Therefore, blogger will be happy to refer other to join it in return for some revenue. My friend got 5 USD after refer me to join Google Adsense. That is good. Maybe Advertlets should consider it also. It sure help a lot.
