PIRACY IN INDONESIA


A Webquest for Adult, Intermediate, students of English as a Foreign/Second Language

Created by

Ririn Ambarwati


Introduction

Piracy is an activity that is concerned as a violence for copyright. Piracy problems in Indonesia which involve mall piracy, CD and DVD burning, mobile device piracy (whether bluetooth, infrared, USB, etc.), book piracy, illegal camcording, and so many more today still become an issue that is seemed to be a common thing happened in our country. In the latest years, internet has grown rapidly and given many advantages for our people but, in the other hand, the internet has become the frontier means for pirates in Indonesia. As a result, Indonesia achieved the highest piracy level for 2008.

The court system also remains ineffective way when they had to face the case of piracy. Unsuccessful investigation, slow cases down, and also unsuccessful conclusions are the example of how weak is our law when they had a piracy case waiting to be done in their desk.

Piracy is terribly wrong. We should try to avoid any kinds of piracy in our environment. Let’s make our country as a creative country, not a piracy country.

Tasks

Pretend that you are from institution or community or organization that against any kinds of piracy in Indonesia. As the purpose of the organization to decrease the piracy level in Indonesia, one of their program is to make counseling in many ways. To make the program successful, surely you have to do some tasks, such as:

1. Make a very effective hortatory exposition text about against piracy. The target of your text is anyone, but try to focus it on people who can touch the technology that encourages the piracy activity itself, i.e., students, office workers, etc.

2. Make a pamphlete or leaflet about piracy in Indonesia. Use a brief but effective and efficient explanation on your pamphlete and add some pictures to attract the readers attention.

3. Hold presentation for some people that you think they are closely related to the piracy activity but they lack of information of piracy itself. Make sure that you use the appropriate language which wouldn’t make any misunderstanding between the audience.

4. Draw poster about piracy. You can stick it on some places in your environment(with permission of course) or you can give it as a souvenier to your audience when you give a presentation
