May 15,2012 – Communications and Information minister Tifatul Sembiring said on Monday he would block music websites providing files for illegal downloads only after receiving a report from the copyright owner.
“For music [illegal downloads], there should be a report before [we] block [the website],” Tifatul said as quoted by Detik.com. “Ahmad Dhani could report which of his songs have been downloaded illegally.”
Tifatul, who is well-known for his enthusiasm when it comes to closing down porn websites, was criticized by several Indonesian artists on Monday, including Ahmad Dani, Mulan Jameela and Syahrini.
