For real, Sony – how low can you go?

[Jennifer Pariser, the head of litigation for Sony BMG] …has a very broad definition of “stealing.” When questioned by Richard Gabriel, lead counsel for the record labels, Pariser suggested that what millions of music fans do is actually theft. The dirty deed? Ripping your own CDs or downloading songs you already own.

Gabriel asked if it was wrong for consumers to make copies of music which they have purchased, even just one copy. Pariser replied, “When an individual makes a copy of a song for himself, I suppose we can say he stole a song.” Making “a copy” of a purchased song is just “a nice way of saying ‘steals just one copy’,” she said.

and after comments like this they STILL blame customers… eh, sorry, they blame pirates that “Sony BMG is half the size now as it was in 2000”.

Right.

there’s a program called ‘schip’, which provides health care to poor children.

it’s a popular program, and it works well. it has the support of a majority of governors, health care providers, democrats, and moderate republicans.

it passed a vote in the house today, but conservative republicans voted against it and president bush is threatening to veto it.

let’s remember: this is a program that provides health care to poor children.
it’s popular and it was crafted by democrats and moderate republicans.

why is bush going to veto this bill?

and why are right wing republicans against it?

a big reason is that in order to pay for the bill there’s an increase in the tax on cigarettes.

and the president and the right wing republicans believe that this is unfair to tobacco companies.

i’m not kidding.

so the president and the right wing republicans are against a bill that provides health care to poor children because they believe it’s unfair to tobacco companies.

they also believe it’s too expensive.

but to put it in perspective: one year of this health care program costs as much as running the war in iraq for 30 days.

TeliaSonera näkee nykyisen tekijänoikeuslain esteenä tietoyhteiskunnan palvelujen kehittymiselle.

Lausumassaan TeliaSonera toteaa, että äänitteiden myynnin jyrkän laskun takana ovat myös levy-yhtiöiden omat tekniset suojauskeinot ja niiden liiallinen käyttö. Näin ollen levymyynnin laskua ei voida kaataa pelkän nettipiratismin syyksi.

TeliaSonera kritisoi myös lain heikentämää yksityisyydensuojaa sekä sitä, että tekijänoikeusjärjestöt vaativat maksamaan samasta materiaalista kaksinkertaisia tekijänoikeusmaksuja, kun materiaalia tarjotaan eri päätelaitteisiin.

Yhtiö vaatii loppukäyttäjille myös oikeutta valmistaa kopioita yksityiskäyttöön riippumatta teoksen lähteen laillisuudesta tai laittomuudesta.

Kiitos, Kaasi.

Helsinki hauskemmaksi -tunnustuspalkinnon saa tänä vuonna Club Unity sekä sen keulahahmo Dj Orkidea. Palkinnon jakaa Art goes kapakka -kaupunkifestivaali.

Palkinnon jakajan mielestä Club Unityn voimana on vahva yhteisöllisyys ja vapaaehtoistyö, sekä rakkaus elektromusiikkiin. Dj Orkidea on soittanut dj:nä Euroopan suurkaupungeissa ja palkittu Suomessa ennenkin.
