The current copyright climate makes us all copyright criminals. From trading music between friends, making backup copies of DVDs, an iPod party, a youtube mashup - its all copyright infringment, and it's all against the law.
So - are you a copyright criminal? We'll edit together these photo mug shots into the movie.

On one hand it sounds like
On one hand it sounds like an awesome idea. On the other, in this world, it sounds like entrapment.... Which for those of you who don't know, used to be this concept that the powers that be could not lure or goad you into acts of illegality and then arrest you for them, however, at least in the US the patriot act basically eliminated that...

There will always be lots of people who won't join your cause if you play around with calling yourselves thieves. There has to be another way film izle, to more fundamentally question the paradigm from the start and get those people on board instead of turning them off right away.

Version française
Je suggère plutôt "Criminel de la copie" ou alors "copieur criminel" ou "copieuse criminelle" (for a girl)
But the current french sign isn't gramatically correct.

SO can't wait to see this
SO can't wait to see this movie...and I just found out that it was filmed in my hometown,
avşa - avşa otelleri - avşa pansiyonları - tatil -
hometown?
Whats your hometown?
the allure of the outlaw
I've said it before and i'll say it again, i think the whole "copyright criminal" thang is the wrong way to talk about copy culture.
If If someone told you you had to pay to breathe, or you were breaking a law, what would people do? they'd rise up and destroy the social order that allows that to be a rule. A similar thing happened in Bolivia in 2001 when Bechtel tried to make the residents of Cochabamba pay huge fees for water, even rainwater. They rose up, and won, even against army troops that were called in. they didn't stroll around calling themselves "water criminals" - they kicked some ass.
In Culture, in our priveleged little media world that us rich folks live in, for some reason it's very alluring and sensational, to fancy ourselves "pirates" and "thieves" and whatever else. maybe because nobody needs art and culture to survive, like they do water. but whatever the case, to call yourselves criminals, that's actually giving in to the paradigm, admitting that it IS somehow wrong to recycle culture.
But it's not. And there will always be lots of people who won't join your cause if you play around with calling yourselves thieves. There has to be another way, to more fundamentally question the paradigm from the start and get those people on board instead of turning them off right away.
No, I'm NOT a "copyright criminal," because I don't recognize the bullshit laws that would define me as such. That's what every one of these mugshots should be saying. "I'm not a criminal, I'm a free person!"
my post was removed
am i experiencing censorship from opensourcecinema?
which post?
I don't believe so - what was the post? Only spam gets deleted around here....
information the growing resource
Information is the only resource that grows with use. It is more then just renewable. The more we use information resources the more they grow, develop, refine, and inspire into even more valuable resources.
Hmmm...
Uh, yeah. It's called satire.
it definitely is yahoo
it definitely is
yahoo
Satire? Who cares?
You're missing the point, you're still admitting to the "crime". The more you admit to it, the more you believe it, the more strength it has in your mind.
So are you a criminal? Satire or not ask yourself that question.
belief
I believe I'm NOT a criminal. That's why its satire. The things these would make illegal are not crimes.
good point
What we're trying to say is that its ridiculous that we've BECOME criminals. These bullshit laws have created a system where ordinary people, even those who are turned off by the moniker, are criminals. By showing the criminalization of average folks, the thinking should seem absurd.
During this time my music
During this time my music was being stolen, not credited and info not even want to think about that group in Indiana who made money they never thanked me for.
copyright "criminals"
as a 45 year old musician and lawyer I see both sides - and I will not rattle on about the inevitability of the end of laws of intellectual property. Though you people know that you are all as the Chinese. You *know* that for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction,
what happens us that people as myself who were composing and performing original music have stopped. I "made it" in NY, NY, and yes, dogs and cats, The Chairman's cliché us true. Took me 12 years to go on a run where I was composer-in-residence at a musician's dream space.
During this time my music was being stolen, not credited and info not even want to think about that group in Indiana who made money they never thanked me for.
So: I quit practicing to concert levels or composing at same, as have 1000s if others because Generation Y is called the GIVE ME EVERYTHING FOR FREE GENERATION.
Sorry, but in the Theres no such thing as a Free Lunch generation, we knew that most theft had cost. What are you Really paying? You and me and everyone else knows that while there are now over 1,000,000 B+ bands, the last two A+ performer/composers of the decade are Dave Matthews and John Mayer - whonate good in their style, but indicate paradoxically the problem: face it, the new acts, well, suck. When I was party age, we had all tbrbmisic y'all are stealing. These old people are more successful than the feebleness around now. Eminem is great - Linkin Park isn't bad. Butt where is the creativity of generation Y? Inventing the udea that line China, you have an idea that after your looting spree (I do not steal music) that someone is going to restock the shelves with new, creative fresh recordings.
Could it be that 1950s acts like Amy Winehouse are venerated? Kanye West? It's a noncreative musical atmosphere. Well, no wonder you are stealing that which you cannot perform. Then again, yours is rightly a fatalistic world where you don't create because you know that WWIII is, like, gonna destroy that which you could write. We are not more creative than you/ we were just born into a Golden Age where the Cold War and Mutually Assured Destruction kept everyone happy. Now it's - Why write when Babylon is on the verge of war with Jerusalem?
Instead of blaming copyright
Instead of blaming copyright infringement for not really liking any music in the last decade, why don't you just blame getting old? The same phenomenon happened to 40-something year-olds way before Napster was even dreamt of.
As one not living in NY, but in southern Brazil, I would add that none of the musicians I know personally make or made real money from copyright, before or after P2P. And I don't remember any of them quitting music because of that: they just keep on making money at concerts, bars, music lessons or whatever, just like always. Not a whole lot, alright. But it's good enough to earn a living by playing music: there's no reason you should also be made filthy rich as a reward. So maybe you're just, well, spoiled in NYC. But don't worry. There will be plenty of people in the world to fill up the internet with music after you quit. As for shelves, who the hell needs them anyway?
free lunch
By the way, I agree with your "there's no such thing as a free lunch" comment. I agree that artists have to be paid to survive, and that a lot of the arts carry a cost for their production. And I'm all in favor of providing that kind of income through taxes, subsiding, advertising or whatever. But the payment must come in such a way which encourages art to be shared and distributed. A system in which artists have a financial stimulus to limit availability to their work, hide it from the public, and cry out "theft" if somebody else distributes it is positively insane. It is the exact opposite of what art should be about. We should be paying artists to create art, not to own it. And definitely not to hide it away from those who cannot pay.

Where did you learn how to write?

Perhaps he honed his writing skills in music-law school. Or did some ingrate from Gen Y remix his syntax?
The communicative demands of cohesion and intelligibility must cramp his style.
Where did you learn how to write?
He's got the point. People must have to adequate to the enviroment that we're living. We've opened space for everybody with internet, there's much more people mixing much more influences. And could seems the same thing for and old, deaf and jelous people...
But we're here to contribute with the doc. Please "anonymous", go find a girl or another community and be shame of yourself as you've of your name. And I don't care if I'm not writing as well as I should, maybe english isn't my mother-language and maybe it´s not a obstacle for nowadays culture, as you should know!
