Castilian went to class. I put it here because I think it is interesting considering what is happening lately. Could be much better, but was 3 am and I was content to fill 2 pages minimum. And ah, I thank all those who strive to defend the rights of Internet users. To them it is dedicated, it is thanks to them and their ongoing work to report that I had the skills to write this (and get 2 points from the end of the course). Thank you.
In recent years we are bombarded with absurd anti-piracy messages in question toInternet users almost as criminals. As an example, one of the last campaign of the Ministry of Culture, "If you're legal, you're legal," compares the evil and vile surfer who gets off a film with a reckless driver who nearly runs over a couple and their baby while crossing a zebra crossing.
Ads like this are a clear proof that, due to the existence of powerful and influential groups interested in criminalizing piracy is exaggerating something that, while it may be a problem for some sectors, is far from being the great threat that would have us believe.
file exchange throughInternet is being treated as if it were something new and terrible, not knowing that people are always books left, have made copies of tapes or VHS tapes are recorded on films broadcast on television . Both before and now someone acquired a product and it flowed and spread. The only difference between that situacióny the present is that these exchanges are now more common and more numerous. This may seem very serious to those who are in the business of culture, but it is necessary to take into account that a discharge, of necessity, does not amount to a sale. Much of what is low, it is precis because it's free. If I had to pay for it will consume much less culture, because the work for which you are willing to pay would be only a small percentage. Piracy, therefore, gives us access to a lot of content that otherwise would not know. The more apocalyptic
argue that piracy will eventually cause the demise of all types of art without the industry that sells and advertises, artists will create. But from the beginning of time man has created, either on its own initiative or on behalf of a patron. Most great artists of la history lived in an era when multinational companies and had not yet been able to create truly wonderful. The only thing that is really dangerous is the current business model, but it would be absurd to think you can really get away. Currently online although you can get almost absolutely any game, song, movie, these products are still selling millions of copies on the market. Although available for free, there's a large number of people who want adquiridlos paying for them.
Yes it is true that the music or movie sales have fallen, butjust blame piracy would be a grave error. Times have changed and users require new formats and media to which the industry seems unwilling to adapt. How to buy a CD if today we listen to music on our mp3? If the music industry ignores the wishes of their clients, it is logical that they will end up giving back. Increasingly, many of our customers shows that what matters is not having the physical format but the digital file, and yet the companies that sell their content through the internet are a minority a. If you eliminate costs such as transport involvingor the hardware, the final price could be lowered considerably and thus be more attractive to buyers. So why not do it? Possibly because behind the current business model across the sector is not willing to change for fear of losing their current monopoly.
Another argument that is frequently heard is that piracy is promoting the culture of "everything free." Given that most Internet users have ever downloaded files, this should have resulted in a massive wave of robberies and thefts, and has not been the case. Is absurdo who now believe that low a movie tomorrow steal a car, in the same way it is absurd to consider that both actions are equivalent. Downloading a file from the internet is only making a copy, while stealing a physical object involves seize the object. In the first case, the original owner will continue keeping it, the existence of the copy does not affect in any way. The car owner, however, lose it and can no longer have it anymore.
The media talk of illegal downloads even though the English legislationto clearly specify to download a song movie is legal as long as there is no profit. Indeed, if there were still doubts, a few days ago a judge ruled that both pages of links as P2P networks and file sharing is legal if there is no economic benefit from them. It is a fact that society does not consider piracy as something criminal or prosecuted by law. So if neither society nor the law is punished, it is evident the absurdity of attempting to criminalize something simply to defend the economic rights of a few companies. Or in other words, put the rights of a minor & iacute; aa those of the majority.
