		Then there are the Malaysian music fans who check and balance that -- the ones who search for things that simmer below the candy-coated froth of the mainstream, read leftist music publications and prefer listening to static than tuning in to mainstream radio.
		While it is certainly possible that there are Malaysian indie scrooges locking themselves in their rooms and downloading the whole New Order discography in all its MP3 glory because they're cheapskates, a lot of Malaysian indie fans turn to file sharing because the music they crave is otherwise inaccessible.
