De unos meses para aca me spammean con imagenes mi fb. Los spammers son imagenes o memes de internet. Lo malo, son robados impunemente por terceros. No se le da credito a la fuente original. Peor aun. Tras de robado le quitan la referencia de la otra pagina y ponen un watermark propio. Localmente la claque son de 4 o 5 sitios, destacando Blogiante y WTF Puerto Rico. No importa, son el mismo corillo y entre ellos se hablan. Simplemente exponia mi observacion. No es mas facil incluir un footnote con el origen de la imagen?
Anyway...
No me convencen los argumentos de los gorilas celadores del copyright. Estos embelecos como SOPA, etc. que buscan limitar la libertad de la web. El copyright es hasta cierto punto una camisa de fuerza. Es bueno hacer adaptaciones, darle un giro propio a las cosas, eso es creatividad en accion.
Pero es otra cosa plagiar impunemente. Eso invalida por completo el trabajo que paso otro.
Habia hablado del remix culture en articulo previo:
In an auditorium of 500, no matter how far my questions went down that garden path, maybe two hands went up. I just could not find a spot on the spectrum that would trigger these kids’ morality alarm. They listened to each example, looking at me like I was nuts.
Finally, with mock exasperation, I said, “O.K., let’s try one that’s a little less complicated: You want a movie or an album. You don’t want to pay for it. So you download it.”
There it was: the bald-faced, worst-case example, without any nuance or mitigating factors whatsoever.
“Who thinks that might be wrong?”
Two hands out of 500.
Now, maybe there was some peer pressure involved; nobody wants to look like a goody-goody.
Maybe all this is obvious to you, and maybe you could have predicted it. But to see this vivid demonstration of the generational divide, in person, blew me away.
I don’t pretend to know what the solution to the file-sharing issue is. (Although I’m increasingly convinced that copy protection isn’t it.)
I do know, though, that the TV, movie and record companies’ problems have only just begun. Right now, the customers who can’t even *see* why file sharing might be wrong are still young. But 10, 20, 30 years from now, that crowd will be *everybody*. What will happen then?
