La trasmissione dati è una macchina da copia

Bell'articolo questo sotto (grazie P)

Il paradigma è stato invertito dalla digitalizzazione già con i testi: Da "stampa e distribuisci" a "distribuisci e stampa"

la digitalizzazione e la sua comunicazione è fondata su dispositivi di ri-produzione.


Pandora CEO: The Complexity Of International Copyright Law Is A Big Problem | paidContent.

“The statutory damages clause (of copyright law) creates a moral hazard… It’s too attractive to sue. It’s a better business model than saying, I’ll partner with you and build a business. The lawyers in the music industry spent too much time suing and fighting, in lieu of developing better business partners. They’ve come a long way and are much better business partners than they were five years ago, and certainly 10 years ago. In the early days of digital, [suing] was easier than the hard stuff of, how do you figure out this new world? Today every major label and independent label is doing that hard work. But they lost time.” Our definition of “copies” might need to change for the digital age. “There is a really fundamental problem that’s going to keep coming up over and over again. Computers, in the digital world, work by making copies. I think that we’re going to continue to trip over this very fundamental issue. This is the frustration of a computer-science guy in a roomful of lawyers. Until there’s some conception of what a copy is in a digital world… there are going to be a whole bunch of cases that are going to be kind of a crap-shoot.”

Direi anche qualcosina in più: la distribuzione (di contenuti digitali) è in se stessa riproduzione. Non c'è differenza tra distribuire un contenuto digitale e il farne una copia. E questo è MOLTO interessante :)
