Internet Censorship [My opinion]

internet piracy

The purpose of this post is to do a little reflection on Internet censorship.


I'll start with the books, what would happen if we could not download books online? What would happen to students who barely have money to go to universities or colleges and hopefully get to go home? "If only to look at the upper class?.
Where they do not need anything, and have enough money even to throw the food? prevented us down and prevent us from carrying vats is being a book or case when anyone donates a book is going to prison? when it reaches the bibliteca reach 1 and 50 students, taking pictures back, and already have some of the information in the book, which goes on the Internet? a user uploads the book and gets a scanned copy of the book is not the original book is a copy as if making a copy of the library.

Now for the video games, what would happen if we stand in the way game downloads? for example in underdeveloped countries and in Central America we are lucky to have half a rusty bicycle, as we will be buying games from $ 3,000 if all that money can eat up to three months? and if we can get the game rendered with a friend who has the game is not like downloading? what we did was copy the data and save them and if we give it to someone else is not the same for a book and photocopies.

Now with the programs, how they are going to prevent students from downloading programs like office to do their jobs, autocad for students of engineering and architecture, and a host of useful programs to be developed in a progression? if the majority of the population have no poor and unable to buy expensive programs that we are not thieves just share.

Now the music, if a neighbor bought a CD and turned up volume to hear system and I am content "would be violating copyright? is equal to me to copy and play it in my house, I have the data I have not the material, I'm just listening to music just as you would in a mall, store, supermarket or at the home of a neighbor or on the radio and not paying, "then I'm violating copyright?

8 without access windows

8 without access windows

8 without serial Windows would not let you access your desktop

In a massive effort by Microsoft, the next version of Windows will have an almost unbreakable wall against piracy. That effort is to manage the activation and validation entirely online, but not as we know it today.

As confirmed by Steve Ballmer, Windows 8 will be a risky bet. The rumor that many of the modules of the system will be online, including those that let you manage the system (like the Desktop) and those associated with activation / validation. Windows servers Activation Technologies will receive the serial number of the system, and if correct, allow access to these modules. Otherwise, it will not and can not be using Windows 8 out of 30 days of grace.

Pirates trap lies in the activation is remote and can not be patched. If the server detects that WAT is pirated or not applicable, the system will behave as if the key legal. After a certain period, WAT report that the key is wrong and block Windows, leaving the operating system unusable unless you enter the correct serial number. A format would not fix the problem, because the combination of hardware would be registered under prior agreement, but at least the rest of the software and documents and others are safe and sound blocking. I think that deserves a MAXIMUM TROLLING.

Things like fast food, instant hibernation, and the installation of the speed of light makes sense if this proves true, since you need only install the remainder of the operating system resides in the cloud. A cloud is in full control of Microsoft, and where there is no place for pirates. There are more pictures at the source on the subject.

piracy laws referred problems

piracy laws referred problems

Google CEO Eric Schmidt


The few days ago, Google CEO Eric Schmidt has publicly positioned against piracy laws that want to implement the U.S. and UK authorities as "threatening freedom of expression."

The laws referred Schmidt are Britain's Digital Economy Act, which allows courts to block websites, as well as to Protect U.S. IP which proposes to block file sharing pages cutting off access to DNS.

"I would be very, very careful if I were a government on the arbitrary application of simple solutions to complex problems," said Schmidt.

For the manager of Google, such anti-piracy solutions "set a very bad precedent" and that give rise to other countries to say no I like the freedom of speech so I will cut off access to all the DNS. "

The country regards China Schmidt is known for its relentless censorship in the network and the U.S. and the UK would end up looking like if they pass these laws, believes the manager.

Also, speaking and on behalf of Google, has said that if these rules come into force his company would not agree to cooperate in its implementation, despite a few months ago the search launched a package of measures to combat piracy.

In another vein, Schmidt talked about the recurring theme of facial recognition, ensuring once again that despite being a viable system (who apparently have done), think not released due to privacy issues.

piracy makes them the artists not to damage the

piracy makes them the artists not to damage the

Top executives from the entertainment industry, when they carry out campaigns against piracy, always claim to represent the interests of artists. But the survey in the Netherlands on behalf of the Government of the country shows that piracy does not hurt artists. On the contrary, have assumed as a way to improve your image, continue in force, to gain publicity and get new fans.

Yesterday, the Dutch government announced plans to legitimize the unauthorized downloads of artistic material on the Internet and simplify the blocking of web sites which disseminate such materials. This measure is a step very questionable in light of the results of the survey published the same day showing that the attitude of artists is not as negative about piracy.

Through the survey, the government wanted to ascertain the position of the artists on piracy, the reproduction of copies on the internet and other opportunities and challenges that are faced in the digital age. The survey was conducted among 4,000 artists of different ages, including musicians, filmmakers, writers and photographers.

The survey provided data very curious about the position of artists on the issue of piracy. The most surprising thing is that the artists are also pirates. Almost a quarter of respondents pirated artwork from their peers. 22% indicated that in the last 12 months have downloaded Internet material without permission from the owner. 71% say they have not done and 7% did not know or will not answer this question.

The artwork is the most downloaded music. Over 80% of respondents had downloaded music artists and less than 40% movies. Only 5% of survey participants are interested in other categories such as electronic books and games.

Apart from their habits pirates, artists responded to questions regarding their role as victims of the unauthorized charge, particularly if they are affected by piracy financial mode. It is interesting, but only 12% of them feel that this hurts them. Most artists claims that the reproduction of copies of artwork are unaffected and some think that in contrary, it helps.

The latter is the case of so-called emerging artists. Are those just emerging, becoming known and in search of an audience. Most of these artists usually release their work freely without constraints of reproduction and distribution and see piracy as a form of promotion.

illegal piracy record industry

illegal piracy record industry

The head of the UK subsidiary of Warner Music for 15 years, Rob Dickins, proposes to radically reduce the price at which the discs are sold at only one pound per unit (something like U.S. $ 1.6).

Dickins pursues the idea of giving a frontal battle illegal downloading from the Internet and hard drive sales of music albums, but has not been well received within the industry.

It is no mystery at present the marketing of music in physical format is experiencing a deep crisis, due to the rise of downloads from the Internet (whether legal or illegal), whose format allows it to be played on virtually any device.

The problem for record companies is that they are being themselves when to fight back, and do not have the unconditional support of the musicians (who are now giving more importance to touring and live shows) and have never been supported of the electronics industry to find a solution together.

According to Dickins (who was responsible for the release of records by REM, Madonna and Simply Red) the most important musicians could get to sell up to 200 million copies of an album at that price, versus 7 to 8 million achieved with current prices.

Of course the idea of Dickins has been well received within the industry, which has been described as ridiculous. Even some have called the deadbeat Dickins and opportunistic, and which would have usufruct of an industry in an era when records were sold at prices much higher than today.
