If so many are doing it it is obviously not against the standards of the Indonesian people and therefore should not be illegal.

Unless of course the minority can dictate the standards of this country.

I'm sure that will never happen though.

“If one person spends Rp 1,000 to download the footage, multiply by two million, and multiply again by 800 videos, you do the math. How much money was wasted on downloading porn?” he said.

Rp. 1000 to download? Where did this number come from?

“Don’t even think of trying to make a sex video. Just take a look in a mirror, if you must.”

This recent advice issued by National Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Edward Aritonang in the wake of the sex video scandal seems to have been taken to heart, at least by a local group calling itself Jangan Bugil Depan Kamera, or Don’t Get Naked in Front of a Camera. The group on Thursday called on all Indonesians to stop producing pornography.

“Many people think it’s OK to produce pornographic material as long as it is for private use. But with the Internet and today’s technological devices, nothing is private anymore,” Peri Umar Farouk, the resources coordinator for the group, told the Jakarta Globe as the Nazriel “Ariel” Irham scandal continues to rock the nation.

Peri said Indonesians seem to love their porn, both “producing and watching it.” In fact, Google Trends ranked Indonesia as the country with the fourth-highest number of people accessing pornographic Web sites. The names central to the scandal — Ariel, actress Luna Maya and TV presenter Cut Tari — were producing an extreme upward curve in Google Trends.

“Indonesians also love Asian porn stars. For six consecutive years Indonesia ranked first as the country with the most searches for Maria Ozawa or Miyabi,” a Japanese porn star, Peri said.

JBDK was founded in 2007 and campaigns against the production of pornographic material, the spread and distribution of porn, and “eradicating all traces of images, videos and any other form of porn.”

Peri said thousands of Indonesians regularly watched pornographic acts aired via Web cams. “It’s even more terrifying because it’s real time, like a live show.”

He said the video of former lawmaker Yahya Zaini naked in a hotel room with dangdut singer and aspiring politician Maria Eva had been downloaded by nearly two million people in a month.

“If one person spends Rp 1,000 to download the footage, multiply by two million, and multiply again by 800 videos, you do the math. How much money was wasted on downloading porn?” he said.
