Author Book Fair exhibition marketing editorial

Author Book Fair exhibition marketing editorial

For those who speak Spanish in Argentina, "Fair" is a public space where, waiving installation costs and the odd luxury retailers deliver the same quality at lower prices.

The popular idea of ​​"fair" promises a direct contact between producer and consumer, always someone who thinks that this man was yesterday displaying her eggs by feeding hens coquettes affectionately. For if one were to suspect that the Book Fair is fair, they were for a quarter of a century promoted with the slogan "from author to reader."

The Book Fair is a private place where it pays to be presented to an audience that paid to enter. The Fair is a traditional trick called by-pass in marketing textbooks, "bridge" in Spanish, which is used here. In the supposed "fair" liquid industrial stocks at market prices. Dodging commissions from vendors, booksellers and distributors margins and cash invoicing, the industrialist get a book sold at the fair between twice and four times what obtained by its sale in bookstores.

An editorial type, operating with a profit margin of ten percent, a retail margin of thirty-five, and a distribution cost fifteen and a collection period of sixty days, when charges for cash sale at the Fair is quadrupled their earnings or duplicate, if income weighted to be taxed to the owner of exhibition space and pay for the reinforcements of personnel hired some exhibitors for the event.

To justify its gimmick, the organization that pilots the Fair is supported by the media, always keen to encourage any money hoax that smells sweet. The organization also has the State whose authorities invites and entertains, and, as yet have not lost their charisma as Craig, Nestor and Mauritius, will enable a sociable space where people simulate proximity and apparent affinity with the creation of culture .

Booksellers are resign and, on the scale of their capabilities, hire stands and taxed at the fairgrounds. The author concedes. Total charges the same for each book sold here or there: from 8 to 10 percent of the price. Fair reminds you what it is: just one among many, but concurs, poses, hear his name repeated over the loudspeaker while signing copies, and suddenly someone recognizes, applauds or health. Something is always something more than nothing in the background you deserve.

Hi folks, these days are put together many threads in the issue by ruling against!
The ruling states:

Sixth Court of Appeals Court for Criminal and Correctional upheld the charge of "necessary participant" in violation of the Copyright Act against the two owners of the site, because they knew the illegality of the maneuver and allowed discharge, stated that "intellectual property is a right of authors to guarantees and anything that affects it, suggests that the law is not respected."


Here are the complete failure for those who want to read:
http://www.errepar.com/aol/documento...oT29-04-11.pdf



This means that it is against the law to violate the copyright, if you want to discuss if this good or bad law, but this is today is law and must be complacent



You will say that all went down a little once! and if true, but that makes us go unpunished or T! or us but there are a couple of points I would like to place




1:, making the excuse that they can not review the post and are not accomplices to what users up when we all know well have a protocol where if you put something that is GORE, distasteful, pornographic or, what then once they ban would contradict and that if they can control certain things, and I wonder others do not?

2: Now ask users for collaboration to support T! when most were censored for saying something we did not like or give our opinion (probably this post will be running with the same fate) and not only that, but it is his rebuttal to wash their hands and say no more, no Unless the culprits are users and not them.

3: This is very personal, but I do not want them to disappear T! just as it was long ago a website as well COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE slogan says, not only download music, books, programs, etc, if not good contributions we can make smart users

4: Finally T! always been a site for profit, not a partnership in which everyone reached revenue, then I wonder, where users do not have profits, but losses have to support?



THIS POST WILL PROBABLY BE BANNED OR REPORTED, GO TO KNOW WHY, BUT WOULD BE GOOD THAT STARTED TO MAKE A MORE OPEN PAGE AND WE CAN SPEAK FOR MORE THAN THE OWNER OF THE SITE do not like, as ultimately t! IS WHAT IT IS THANKS TO U.S.
