Sinde, "Pirates or parasites? Defense
The Submarine dvd , the melodrama of Thomas Vinterberg, no Culture Ministry announcement encouraging that you download copyrighted material intellectual property rights but Filmin , the company found Viewing streaming movies .
Spotify, Mubi Filmin or have changed the landscape of the audiovisual industry, finally geared to new technologies and the Internet. The "hacking", downloading music and movies have long been not only the only way to enjoy many works whose distribution in Spain was problematic for the outdated cultural industry but an act of civil disobedience against just an oligopoly in market culture. An oligopoly is characterized by more supine ignorance, ignorance and stupidity more tawdry business proof of dandruff. Then I was concerned the freedom of expression as a form of freedom of access to culture.
The hacking showed what could and should be a dynamic and avant-garde cultural market. However, both in the music and film that regards pirate activity is becoming, changing market circumstances, in a reactionary phenomenon, parasitic, where before it was cutting edge and groundbreaking, because it undermines the ground patronage of initiatives business as Spotify, Mubi or Filmin and the remarkable and worthy of DVD companies like Intermediate or Cameo.
These companies of the most vibrant cultural industry are now threatened by the activities of pirates to put the boots: the download sites for profit. Therefore, the law would not be Sinde the Iranian demon with which some have adorned . On the contrary, would benefit the emerging market for online audiovisual industry making the least bad of the balance between the interests of makers, who see so successfully protected their legitimate rights to intellectual property and customer of the industry who have at their disposal a range of cultural events ranging from Harry Potter to Apichatpong Weerasethakul couples through the Straub / Huillet .
There remain, however, outdated industries are reluctant to change their habits nineteenth century, as the book. However, also here movements are seen in the right direction . In addition, an end to the for-profit sites that proliferate in the English network does not mean an end to file sharing in this range of authentic cultural relevance, ie, we will use the mule and pando .
course who will mp3 downloading follow in times of Spotify and series and movies you might enjoy paying to see it better in the multiplexes of their city, in the magnificent video stores that have withstood the onslaught or buying pirate in the most decent editions. But if something has become clear in this revolt against the law tweeted Sinde is that in addition to reasonable criticism of legislative action - especially the issue of legal certainty of closing the affected sites, in my opinion, was amended adequately in the development of legislation - there is also resentment in some sectors against the world of culture in itself and quite loose parasite would like to be Sir Francis Drake (or at least have it as Errol Flynn)
Ultimately, I believe that the Act approaches Sinde better than many others to a solution guarantee the intellectual property rights and the proper functioning of competition in the market. That pirate activity has been the catalyst for entrepreneurial action has been an interesting experience but I think we are at the moment needs to be changed paradigm and institutionalize appropriate intellectual property within the invisible hand mechanisms, not the black hand.
PD. My friend David Ballota Red Nation leader from the opposition to any Sinde Act.
PD. point of view of PP by José María Lassalle . Says the same thing as me but decorating it. I get the impression that the Act will be tuned Sinde quietly in the Senate between the PSOE and the PP for final passage.
