Does this mean if you (or your countrymen) disrespect anyone that the party disrespected can laugh at you.
It just means that he shouldn't be so quick to cast aspersions or stones, literally or figuratively. Besides, this isn't the place for it, and I found it in poor taste. There was no reason to make any disparaging remarks against Canada in the article, as I don't see Indonesia taking steps to protect the civil rights of it's population.
I can take a bit of teasing like the next guy, but that's not hat his post was remotely about. Canada took steps to protect the rights of it's people long ago, as well as steps to protect the rights of authors and copyrighted material. Besides, if we give any credence to the study recently conducted by Harvard, sharing MP3's isn't having much of an affect on the music industry. I think this is a fact that most free-thinkers accepted long ago, when all this copyright infringement garbage started, and it's reassuring to see that the Canadian courts seem to agree.
So, while Canada and our court system takes another step to protect our way of life, Fajar thinks little of it. I think that it clearly shows that Canada won't be presured into complying with U.S. policy, and perhaps it will also stand out as a more common-sense approach to solving this whole situation.
After all, what is the alternative? Have RIAA sue everyone in the world who's ever downloaded a song? Use the World Courts or U.S. political pressure to push similar copyright laws ( ie; DMCA ) into the household of everyone on the planet?
Fajar's opinion was, IMNSHO, short-sighted, inappropriate and crass.
