I, worthless parasite consumer But the idea that trying to impose stereotypes is this: if I cytokines on Sunday afternoon with my girlfriend in the cinema watching a movie either, I'm appreciating the culture because they paid for it. And if I spend two weeks translating and subtitling to share my favorite series on the Web, I'm just a despicable parasite that is sinking consumer culture.
- Dinner of fear (my meeting with Minister Sinde) , Amador Fernández-Savater
Our gurus and self-proclaimed spokesmen for "the Internet" want to continue to have access via free for theft. Called freedom to profit from certain pages with impunity with the work of musicians, actors, producers, writers, screenwriters, directors, composers, designers and other professionals involved in the complex process of making an album, a movie, a television series, a novel or a videogame.
- I confess: I am surfer , Pilar Bardem
The passage heading this entry belongs to an article worth reading. Written by Amador Fernández-Savater, coeditor of Watercolor Books, and he makes very interesting reflections on the question of "downloads" Sinde Law and others meeting following the dinner with the minister to which he was invited along with others in the world of culture. Things to think about, and some of the other attendees
has already responded.
The second is Pilar Bardem, English actress and mother of actors, which gives another vision of the author, who put their effort to create a work and soon after (sometimes the same day of its release) see it hanging on the Internet. Also have to read it because it should know all the nuances of the issue.
personally do not believe that the current controversy has much to do with culture, but is better in the headlines and may be placed in capital letters: Culture. More While talking about the entertainment industry, which in recent years has seen new technologies have blown up a business model hitherto immovable. Internet has made it possible for books, music, movies and series are available at click of a mouse, an unending catalog available to anyone without checking out. No wonder people are working on it, toss hands to his head: with shrinking profit margins at full speed, their way of life rather than a patch requires a revolution. I often think what will be assumed for the musicians, movie extras or make-up, these workers on foot to those who Truly I can say "come tomorrow" because they have cut spending. The "big names" and the church, Muñoz Molina and Bardem can come up with rueful face and a scowl on television, but I doubt that they remain out of work so easily.
first need to start from the basis of that legislation, no matter how hard, not going to stop file sharing. May impede in any way, but hindsight tells us that in ten years, nothing has stopped downloading mp3 or copying of video games, all systems have been broken and piracy by each program or download system caught the relay disappears two or three. Napster, Kazaa, eMule, Megaupload ... only changed the method. Criminalizing the webs of links or threaten users with non going to stop the process, it may be slowing down slightly, perhaps enough for the producers and record companies bill a bit more and then recognize that we must engage the future.
The industry can not boast of innocent victim, far from it. After decades bossed artists and capriciously deciding what is published and what does not (in many cases well decorated junk), selling discs at an exorbitant price, multiplying and tricking the DVD editions, supporting and then render them obsolete formats ... I do not think they expected a deal consumer gentlemen. The producers are doing things like splitting the adaptation of a novel into two movies to make checkout twice to the fans, comic book publishers sell copies bad models, poorly translated or whose binding falls apart in your hands. Have shown clearly that what matters is to maximize the benefit and now are surprised when people look for their own interests and gives them back the ball.
But as much as the writers, directors and actors who meet with and represent Sinde like it, the Internet is not a capricious who want everything free. They are also what make it clap box office records and those that cram the comic book and movie sections in major surfaces, which allow savings on video games and consoles that meet your home merchandising. Perhaps what scares them most of those "concerned about the culture" is to realize that money is still there but is no longer subject to the dictates of monopoly, but escapes through other channels. New technologies have given the public decision-making capacity and is exercising.
More than once I've wondered what would think if you edit a PDF RPG for a nominal fee and soon discovered that someone has hung on a download site. Probably not but I would have to be realistic, which hangs on the Internet becomes uncontrollable, for better and for worse, and if my building is digital I can not expect otherwise. There is no way to stop and fight these sites is time lost, which closed today morning reopen under another name. You can talk endlessly on whether it is right or wrong, whether the creators are protected or not, that those who profit from pirated content is more or less ... . That is not the way, look for ways to offer different content and added value "that makes it more attractive as the original purchase and download. It's easier said than done, but I sincerely believe that is the road. The rest, indignant, entrenched, long past, talk of sanctions, demonize technology, close our eyes live-time is like trying to protect a sand castle as the tide rises.
O_O Today and made h two entries in the same day, and I believe it myself XD . And it is very rare, for about two months now, I come to my house so prontito XD (what is unwell T_T). And I have no body (especially head) to put a nice and informative post, as he opted for other shonen series I have for sale. This is Bruges School. The anime is composed of two sagas of a few chapters, with enough differences to manga. Media Jonu edi tó series years ago, but only one season autoconclusivos (years have launched the modernized anime). The anime I've seen is very funny, with lots of funny situations and moments of despair to see how naive I can be Sae, the protagonist of the story. And as for the manga pu is more of the same, but with the notable difference that is somewhat spicy scenes (well, rather suggestive XD) and there are characters who appear in the paper version. It is a short sleeve of the editorial Ivrea, published mini comic book, very funny and easy to read. Although comparisons are odious, to some extent, it reminds me of my dear Love Hina, with a protagonist salidillo something silly, which is used worldwide him, but with a big heart ^ ^.
