CONTRACT ACT, 1950 (Revision)
Carbolic Smoke Ball Co. Ltd. advertised that they would offer £1,000 to anyone who still succumbed to influenza after using a certain remedy for a fixed period. The plaintiff duly used it but, nevertheless, contracted influenza. The plaintiff then sued for the money. The Court of Appeal held the plaintiff was entitled to the £1,000 as she had accepted the offer made to the world at large.
In this case, the advertisement of an unilateral contract was held to be an offer.
Advertisement is an offer or an invitation to treat (ITT) depends on the intention of the parties in each case. The courts have held that advertisements of bilateral contracts are not offers whereas advertisements of unilateral contracts are construed to be offers.

Why soo cheap??
Wow..It looks great rite? Cheapest ever..It is!!
But, hold on for a second..
Do you know, the DVD's that you buy actually can harm the 'owner'? I am not talking about the seller,I am talking about the real publisher/ real DVD's owner..
PLUS, you also gave some support for the seller to sell more when you contribute some money to them (when you pay to buy).
Well,If we were to take a very simplistic view of the copyright landscape in Malaysia, we cou
ld be forgiven for surmising that Malaysia is a country of suppliers, retailers and consumers of pirated VCDs and DVDs of music and films, and software; and that copyright law basically deals with criminal activities.We also could be forgiven for thinking that the question of balance under our copyright law is a non-issue. Indeed, copyright owners may feel, given the proliferation of pirated products, the balance is heavily stacked against them; while consumers may think that enforcement activities have unfairly prejudiced or frustrated their access to cheap and ready supplies of copyright works, and conclude that the balance is most definitely tilted in favor of the copyright owners.
