So Indonesia recommended its Bureaucracy to use open source software (not even forcing them to , just recommending) and now the International Intellectual Property Alliance ( RIAA and MPAA are members of it for example) pressures the US government to put them on a special watch list of countries which don't respect IP.
"The Indonesian government's policy... simply weakens the software industry and undermines its long-term competitiveness by creating an artificial preference for companies offering open source software and related services, even as it denies many legitimate companies access to the government market.
Rather than fostering a system that will allow users to benefit from the best solution available in the market, irrespective of the development model, it encourages a mindset that does not give due consideration to the value to intellectual creations.
As such, it fails to build respect for intellectual property rights and also limits the ability of government or public-sector customers (e.g., State-owned enterprise) to choose the best solutions.
"even as it denies many legitimate companies access to the government market." So open source offering Software companies aren't legitimate I guess and offering a product at a better price and with higher transparency (what outrageous "artificial preferences") than another company does mean denying the competitors access to the market. Wow that sounds pretty socialist.
Its interesting to note that the RIAA website servers run on Linux and use Apache.
