In the above post someone asks me "is this possible," referring to ACTA , because the fact is that when I was a bitter enemy of encouraging and very little paranoid conspiracies in this case I think we are victims of a attack on our liberties for at least two fronts:
One of the interest of a multinational selling content, traditionally called defenders of copyright, and the collection and subsequent distribution among the various units producing the same , with percentages debatable. Defending their model against a competitor who is taking an unexpected dimension threatening outdated business model, this is the network of personal computers, institutions, servers, etc, which has become known as the Internet.
Two
the support for these multinationals by the ruling parties in many countries, including our own, who see this opportunity to legislate the novelty of everything related to internet, the perfect "horse Trojan "to their interests. Others are not to recover the share of loss control information to the citizens impact. In times past it was possible to control the information relative majority of citizens were receiving, since the concentration of mass media was great, and So much easier to "target" that the current fragmentation, almost infinite, communication through blogs, social networks, etc.
This is compounded by the fact that the current way of "doing politics" is intimately linked with that in USA is something already legislated, lobbyists, who are lobbyists trying policy legislation that benefits them and in any case does not harm your status quo.
Thus downplay the famous phrase leitmotiv of democracy , "Power comes from the people" because the people speak once every four years and these groups do not rest for a moment in its dual commitment, the above-described and consistent influence the decision of every voter in this sacred moment happens to us every four years.
And here closes the circle, since the means traditionally used to influence the vote of the people is what is currently a revolution with the emergence and growth of the network.
I leave this interesting presentation of the above mentioned awkward for me in the previous paragraphs, this is a presentation by Lawrence Lessig , well worth using few minutes to find out from which emanates the current system of politics.
I also left a local report is REPORT ON COLLECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF COPYRIGHT the national competition commission.
This is a report made by an official body, which is probably gathering dust in any cajón.No must read the full report, read the executive summary and the conclusions are more than enough.
Most of the information used in this post I have extracted of The Engadget protected labeled Creative Commons, so I can use your work and everything published without its permission. Take this opportunity to recommend you this extraordinary blog.
And finally remember that today you, me, us, we can write this kind of input from our home without any limit other than our desire and knowledge, no matter how you read them, as we exercise a fundamental right, the right to free communication, this is the right now to be controlled, and is, in my opinion, the key battle for our transformation from a representative democracy a direct democracy.
