“Ketika pemerintah Indonesia semakin hari semakin pintar, dua situs file sharing yang sangat penting untuk mempertahankan eksistensi musik death metal di tanah air yaitu Myspace dan YouTube telah di blokir dengan alasan yang tidak rasional. Menurut kabar dan cerita dari beberapa rekan kami yang kebetulan "jago-jago komputer" pemerintah Indonesick-a telah merekrut ahli-ahli IT dengan memakan biaya trilyunan...!!! Tapi lihatlah kami...Jasad adalah orang-orang bodoh yang tidak mempunyai ijazah IT masih tetap bisa membuka locking mereka, kami menganggap pemerintah telah membuat kesalahan besar, kecerobohan dengan menghambur-hamburkan uang negara hanya untuk melarang sebuah film kontroversial "Fitna" dengan cara memblok semua file sharing yang ada, atau hanya sebuah alasan dan proporsal untuk kesempatan korupsi yang nilainya sangat besar ??? Semua band Death Metal Indonesia yang mempunyai account Myspace disini mempunyai satu tujuan dan tekad yang sama..."Membuat Indonesia Eksis" !!!! Sangat-sangat ironis... ketika semua kreativitas mulai terpasung dan ditikam dari dalam…”, - Jasad (Indonesian Death Metal).
Firstly, may I laugh before I begin any of my assumption? Haha! Alright, this is utterly out of mind and ridiculous. Despite of Malaysia government try to hijack the oppositions/left-wings political blogs, Indonesia government acted more even worse. Blocking such information couldn’t solve anything; it’ll just make more daze and confuse notions towards it. Nonsense censorship like this will only lead to haywire of public disagreement. According to the ‘trusted’ sources, it’s not just MySpace and YouTube being banned in Indonesia, but it’s also including LiveLeak, Rapidshare, Multiply, Metacafe, Video.Google as well with Themoviefitna.com which facing the same obstacle occurred on April 8th, began with YouTube alone on April 5th. Surely, in the rapid changing world of information and technology, a restriction like this could be pain in the ass for them or anyone who dealing with it.
But the ban has already ended on April 10th after such consideration. For the sake of our Indonesian comrades, I hope this will not happen again.
By the way, since most of the file sharing tools abovementioned are still legal and not yet being banned in Malaysia, so you can watch the trailer [here] without doubt. And now, it’s up to you to think for yourself.
Though, the statement of ‘dua situs file sharing yang sangat penting mempertahankan eksistensi musik death metal di tanah air yaitu Myspace dan YouTube…’ is absurd and illogical. No, MySpace and YouTube (or any file sharing gizmos) aren’t the important tools to preserve your ‘National Death Metal’ existence. I disagree on that. Perhaps Tom Anderson and Steve Chen are happy by the time they read your announcement nonetheless. Remember the good old days, where we were doing snail mail posting and zine/tape trading among friends both locally and worldwide? Furthermore, I must say that the physical of stuffs we seize in our hands are pretty much more valuable than those ‘files’ that we put into folders.
Isn’t it true enough?
I think, it is now the best time to get back to our basic.
Snail mail or fuckin’ die!
