Go, Read: Article On Zunar’s Customers Facing Potential Discovery Via Credit Card Records

There's a breezy but seems pretty straightforward article here about the basic surrounding one strange element of the latest police-led hassles facing cartoonist Zunar. The artist used a Malaysian pay portal to process credit card payments for a new book that has since come under fire. When police authorities asked for the records of those that bought the book, the company apparently went, "Uh... sure, okay" and forked them over. This article suggests the reasons why this might have happened and some of the potential consequences.

That whole mess strikes me as an ugly affair, and it's difficult to see the timing of Zunar finally winning in court from the 2010 series of fiascos and then a couple of weeks later enduring a new round of harassment and not make the easy mental connection between those two things. I wish Zunar an ultimately positive outcome, and while I know it's not in his nature to stop fighting I wish he didn't have to.
