'Cloning' of Jakarta map<\/p>\n
From Bisnis Indonesia<\/p>\n
A word of caution is advised on the newest map of Jakarta,
\nbecause the wrong choice can lead one astray, as was my own
\nexperience.<\/p>\n
At first I intended to buy the 2001\/2002 edition of the
\nJakarta-Jabotabek map compiled by Gunther W. Holtorf and
\ndistributed by PT Djambatan for Rp 199,000.<\/p>\n
However, another lower-priced alternative (Rp 159,000),
\nattracted my attention as it had the logo of the Jakarta City
\nMapping Board prominently printed in the bottom left corner of
\nthe cover.<\/p>\n
On closer examination, this supposedly 2001\/2002 edition by
\nRiadika Mastra and published by PT Bhuana Ilmu Populer (one of
\nthe Gramedia Group's companies) greatly resembles the 1997\/1998
\nedition of Gunther W. Holtorf, which I had purchased a few years
\nago.<\/p>\n
The imitation started right from the cover, continuing page by
\npage, up to the end. The very few minor differences were in the
\nsize or typefaces, use of some colors, placing of street names,
\nscales or other unimportant altered elements.<\/p>\n
Obviously, the cloning of the previous map contained old
\nunused names of streets and it did not have newly developed
\nstreets or their current names. Has piracy in our country become
\nthis bad?<\/p>\n
