It is not just a light stuff for a Thai like me. Secondly, Pete will not be arrested by just posting an argument about YouTube banned in Thailand. I'm one of Thai bloggers who is hurt about those videos on YouTube but does not agree with the government's action to YouTube and I'm still free outside the jail. Thirdly, Jufer Olive - the guy who was arrested because of lesse-marjeste had been live in Thailand for 10 years. He must know the laws and the most respectful "Does and Dont's" rule of thumbs of living in Thailand. How can you, as a government, ignore this guy who does against the laws? Right? If, for example, I'm arrested in America because I do something against America's laws. Can I argue that I am from Thailand and I don't know the laws as such I can't be wrong??? Finally, everyone has right to speak but the speech should be fair to whom has been criticized. You can just say that because American's "freespeech" so you can do anything you want to a person who is not American and living outside America. People in different part of the World also have "right" to protect themselves too.
