. M and just found the blog of eulez of a counter that is developing the Internet as a result of the Spanish Ministry of Culture launched a few days ago against the rights of Internet users. For those of you who do not you live in Spain or Spanish you will not be minimally I put in background.
In Spain it is legal to download copyright protected content provided it is not for profit, court decisions have said so repeatedly . However, the Spanish government has decided, with the approval of Cesar Antonio Molina, the current Minister of Culture and with the help of enlightened minds that make brainstorming his wallet create a campaign against what they call piracy. From my point of view, it is not important if I or any that we have decided to contribute our bit to alleviate the outrage we are for or against sharing copyrighted content, it is a battle in which even those who is not in favor of legal copy should intervene. The reason? Political power can not override the judiciary, is a fundamental pillar of the rule of law ", much less offer citizens the wrong information, like it or not, with the desire to impose the interests of a lobby over the morally right, touching as aberrant. If there is a serious reaction from the public on this issue, sooner or later they will pay in different ways, so we repeated what the story aloud.
Here even the moral, or personal choice of each individual to face the problem should be subject to a civic task which we are all responsible. Each will have a particular idea that you want to pass a law against file sharing on the Internet, but it can pave the way as has been done. Spain is a country whose legal system does not rest on case law, but in any case we are talking about a strict and repeated by many different law courts. 1
At the bottom of the whole matter is the overall interest of multinationals engaged in the business of culture to create an Internet that serves as a platform for their content rather than a free access, free delivery and where management is neutral; the balloons are coming , of course . Topic you'd better let people much more suitable for analysis than I am.
But let the proposal. The idea is to apply what in English is called google-bombing , that is, create a hyperlink to the phrase of the campaign of the Ministry to manage, in fact, to another page that explains the current law, neither more nor less. This is achieved that accurate information is placed before the information wrong, false and dangerous in Google. It's something poetic in a way: Internet users restructured the relevance of the information in a democratic and participatory manner, without any kind of instance that we domestique. Go therefore my link:
And yes, if there are doubts, support the poor and oppressed against the powerful, think of a more balanced and just world where man is a dignified being able to give the best of himself without depending on their social status is an idea going back to the Renaissance. Some call it generosity - Liberalitas - or charity - charitas - and others simply call it justice.
You can take a look at how the initiative and has made the new page over the ministerial looking "If you're legal" on Google. There you will see how they have joined the initiative Slashdot , green sleeves , Montserrat Boix , Pixel and Dixel , among many others.
Along with this are, of course, other aberrations and abuse is irrelevant to discuss here. I will only say that Spain is one of the few countries where a private entity called SGAE - General Society of Authors and Publishers - is able to collect a tax , Canon digital, report at will to get to the scarecrow , remove with the approval of State the principle of innocence , and manage your collection as a limited company with the problems this entails . ↩
