Fine, no problem, but it would be polite to explain why.

Usually with a post such as this, someone, (a moderator?) would ask for the source to confirm the story had substance. Please explain the difference in this case.

It's simple really. Thailand is a signatory to DMCA but they may just as well not be because they abuse it all the time. TV could legally use 'fair use' but could end up being done for it anyway. It doesn't make sense but does anything in Thailand?
