Indonesia Jadi Musuh Kapitalisme Karena Open Source Software 36

Kamis, 25 Feb '10 11:00, dibaca 968 kali

Tahukan Anda, kalau penggunaan FOSS (Free Open Source Software) nantinya akan disamakan dengan pembajakan (piracy)? Bahkan lebih buruk; pengguna FOSS akan dijadikan "enemy of the state", lebih tepatnya "enemy of capitalism". Oleh siapa? Siapa lagi kalau bukan US goverment. Heck, they even already put Indonesia in their watchlist.

It turns out that the International Intellectual Property Alliance, an umbrella group for organisations including the MPAA and RIAA, has requested with the US Trade Representative to consider countries like Indonesia, Brazil and India for its "Special 301 watchlist" because they use open source software.
What's Special 301? It's a report that examines the "adequacy and effectiveness of intellectual property rights" around the planet - effectively the list of countries that the US government considers enemies of capitalism. It often gets wheeled out as a form of trading pressure - often around pharmaceuticals and counterfeited goods - to try and force governments to change their behaviours (source).

Sekilas info, Indonesia adalah negara nomor enam penggunaan FOSS (Linux) terpopuler, setelah India, Cuba, Federasi Rusia, Republik Czech dan Bangladesh (sumber).

Lebih jauh lagi, dalam sebuah rekomendasinya pada tahun 2009 lalu, IIPA (International Intellectual Property Alliance) menyebutkan Indonesia layak mendapatkan Special 301 status, karena menyarankan, sekali lagi menyarankan, bukan memaksa seluruh departemen negara dan BUMN menggunakan FOSS pada tahun 2011. Berikut petikan rekomendasinya:

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 (source).

Halah, dasar kapitalis maunya cari untung dengan meng-eksploitasi negara orang. Kalau bicara soal IP (Intellectual Property), dunia open source software justru lebih strict ketimbang dunia proprietary software. Saya tidak tahu dengan Anda, tapi saya justru bangga dengan sebutan "enemies of capitalism". Ayo gunakan dan sebarkan FOSS, lawan kapitalisme!

Don't forget Micro$oft claims that Linux has committed copyright infringement on Micro$oft products. This kind of FUD campaign should be banned.

Logically, it's more likely Micro$oft using codes of FOSS, instead of FOSS using codes from close-sourced proprietary software.

Alternatifnya ada: jangan membajak, jangan beli CD dan DVD dari mereka, jangan beli software dari mereka.

...tapi dengan influence, bukan dengan mewajibkan.

Striding Cloud: Agree. Influence and show of excellence is the key.

Something like this will do: http://www.politi…-co-pas.html

Yes. Totally agree with you and with that program.

Show of excellence beats capitalism and/or ideology of suspicions, any day.

silence sleep: open source doesn't means whether it is free or not but it is about the freedom to get the source code, evaluate and if necessary make modifications for certain purpose

lho ya wajar tho.. IIPA itu kan memang lembaga lobby, ya wajar kalau mereka melobby pemerintahnya supaya 'periuk nasi' mereka terjaga.

So, pertanyaannya apakah 'saran' IIPA itu dituruti oleh pemerintah US??

Bukan ga bisa dalam artian teknis, ga bisa karena nggak dapat dukungan pemerintah , lebih aman dan murah beli.

Sama dengan properti lain, bukan nggak bisa...

Kalau begitu, PBB juga bakal jadi musuh Amerika ya... ; )) Bisa diboikot nih program UNDP...

"The choice of hardware and software should not be based on what others are using, but rather on what is needed and appropriate to the telecentre and the community it serves in the long run. Recent findings from various experiences, some of which are mentioned in this APDIP e-Note, show that free and open source software (FOSS) applications combined with low-cost hardware have emerged as an intelligent solution for sustainable telecentres."

"This APDIP e-Note explores the benefits of using FOSS applications in telecentres with case studies from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Brazil, Egypt and Sub-Saharan Africa. The affordability of FOSS and its openness to modification and localization is contributing to the sustainability of telecentres, and more broadly, to empowered communities and poverty reduction."

kapitalis emang pada dasarnya menolak sistem yang bergotong royong, bagi hasil, bagi ilmu gratis, bagi sembako, bagini bagitu.

Jangna lupa pilih Fedora buat laptop : D

There's no such thing as "the best Linux distro" out there. Each distro is the best to its user, and it's always different distro for different user, different purpose, different machine. You can even make your own distro if you want, either from scratch or simply by remastering an existing one.

That's the beauty of Linux. That can also be a weakness, though.
