Unprofessional? As for my expertise on international legal issues, I have been doing research related to copyright in Japan, US and international treaties for more than 30 years. I especially interested in "fair use" and, with my theory, the fair use clause in US copyright act is a guideline to arbitrate copyright and other rights including basic human rights. Thus, my research covers basic human rights and I know "The International Bill of Human Rights" defines internationally agreed basic human rights. A slot of my lecture at my University is dedicated to legal issues related to ICT, including but not limited to, copyright. I have given legal advices to lawyers and co-researchers several times. As for my expertise on international cultural issues, I was acting as a chair of internationalization and localization WG of APCCIRN (Asia Pacific Coordination Committee for Intercontinental Research Networking), later renamed to APNG (Asia Pacific Networking Group), to produce rfcs 1557 and 1992. So, as a professional, I know international treatment of "same sex marriage" and "smoking marihuana" is same, in a sense that neither are basic human rights and may be criminalized.

You can make such judgement, only if you have professional expertise on international legal and cultural issues. Otherwise, your action is unprofessional only to disrespect me. How is your expertise on them? Masataka Ohta
