Posted in: Online TV/Music at 06/07/2012 19:31
The Indonesian Internet Service Provider Association (APJII) plans to block all websites that allow visitors to download music illegally, in a bid to protect the local music business, APJII's chairman, Semmy Pangerapan, said on Thursday.
"The process will be similar to the clearing house, where we close access to unauthorized content, so local music will be more appreciated," he said during an APJII conference in Denpasar, Bali as quoted by kompas.com.
